Is a Load E, 10 ply tire to much for a JKU?

I ran E rated tires for a while. Biggest thing to remember is 20lbs in a C rated tire is different than in a E rated tire because of the stiffer side wall. If your use to running at one psi you may have to go a couple more psi in the E rated tires to get the side wall flex and wider foot print.

Interesting, I'm running OME HD springs with the Falcon 3.3s and rode in an AEV equipped JKU about a month ago and mine rides MUCH better IMO. That being said, I have the E load Nittos in 35s and will be going to a C next time. I think they're too stiff. Even when I air down to 15 psi, they don't flex a whole lot.

I also think it makes a difference in what kind of country you are running in. If only running beaches or smooth rocks then C rated or even P rated would be fine. In my neck of the woods there is lots of downed timber that are like mini spikes and sharp granite rock. Everyone I know runs E rated tires just for the extra protection.
