i run 37 inch e rated toyos and 39 inch bfg krawlers and love them both...i have also run both the nitto mud and trail grapplers..i do a lot of the more extreme trails and a lot of rock crawling and have never had a tire failure due to sidewall damage to date..running beadlocks i usually run between 6 to 12 psi on the trail and 26 to 30 on the street...

Ran some trail grapplers 10ply e rated (285/65/18) went to a 4 ply terra grappler (285/70/17) and I am extremely pleased. This is my DD and the mileage and ride from the Trail G's was not worth looking cool. Very glad I made the switch. If your jeep will see very little trail time, I'd suggest going with a more street friendly A/T tire.

Yup, there's often a 10lb or more difference in weight on an E rated tire versus a standard or C tire. Your mpg, acceleration and braking will suffer but it's all in what your looking for.

Sorry to hijack but here's my dilemma
If I change from E load 265/70/17 (stiff small side wall) to a 285/70/17 D load rated Duratrac with only a 2 ply sidewall ( lighter and slightly larger sidewall) will I notice the difference?
