Tire Ratings.....
I'm looking at getting BFG KM2s for my 2 Door Rubicon. 305/70/17 Size. However, these only come in a E (10 Ply) rating. Any opinions on how a 2 door rubicon will ride on a 10 ply tire? My other option is to do the GY MT w/kevlar. They are a D (8 ply) tire.

I've been rideing on "E's" since day one. The OE Goodyear Wrangler 245/70r16's that came on the Jeep were E rated. So when I purchased the new Duratracs, I also purchased these tires in an E rateing. I love the dependability of these tires. But I hate the ride. Since my Jeep is mostly a DD, I may even purchase C's next time. I don't know if your set on your choice of tire. But the Dura's come in C, D and E's.

They will ride fine if you get the air pressure right. Do not inflate them to what it says on the tire, instead do a chalk test and drop the pressure until you have a flat contact patch, and a good ride.
