    Yeah if they actually make that size, I’d buy them almost immediately.

    Little bit of this and that
    *Assuming* these are actually real hopefully the other manufacturers will follow suit and start releasing C rated ATs in this size as well. That being said I'll be getting these pretty soon after they're available as I'm due for a new set of tires.

    Still 58lbs/tire, though? That's the same as a Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx 255/85r16 in E-Load.

    Yeah I agree. I’m not happy about that number. The G003’s in the same size are 4 pounds lighter. I’m wondering if either the weight or the C load is a typo. A C rated tire of that size shouldn’t weigh that much. Especially when there are E rated tires the same size that weigh less.

    Weight is what keeps me running my "skinny 31s". A Toyo AT/3 in 245/75r16 SL is listed at 38lbs and is plenty of tire for anything I do, but I'd be interested in a sub-50-lbs 255/85 if such a tire existed.

    Isn’t the 285 C load heavier than the E load too?

    Oh yeah look at that…I just looked it up on the Falken website. That’s weird AF.

    I’ve always run an E rated tire on my Tacoma so I don’t pay much attention to the C load ones. Never realized that before.
