I haven't done an extensive search yet, but several of the tires I'm clicking on (looking for something in the 33" to 34" range) are speced as E rated. Especially this sized 34" tire: 285/75R17. The options for C rated seem more limited unfortunately.Except for the heavier than needed construction and harder tread compound that doesn’t grip rocks or wet pavement as well as a C rated tire. Tires designed to support a 3/4 ton 7000# plus truck towing 14K aren’t ideal on a vehicle where the heaviest configuration is 5109#. You might be satisfied with the ride on yours, but it would ride better on C rated tires.
Not to mention WTH, tire prices have gotten ridiculous. My last set of 31" A/T tires cost me around $75 each on a typical Memorial Day tire sale (pre-COVID).
