Developing a HATE for my Load Range E Tires

[dankeller13]

Do you experience any rub with the tires? I am planning to put the goodyear wranglers that come on the sasquatch on my badlands and was considering the leveling kit. I know a lot of people complain about picking up gravel but they seem like the best on road tires with some off road capabilities

No rubbing, crash bars are removed. Wheels are a zero offset if I remember corrrectly.

Timely thread… I am pretty set on the Kenda Klever R/T tires but can’t decide if I want to go with 35-10.5 or 35-12.5. the 10.5 are D rated and 12’s are E rated. I like the look of tge 12.5’s but know ride quality and gas mileage might suffer. any thoughts?

I ran my Jeep at 28psi on E tires. Never had problem with wear and ride was much better than recommended 36-40.

I have non-SAS Badlands with E-rated Toyo Open Country AT3. I run 34 psi front and 32 psi rear and haven’t noticed any significant roughness in the ride or difference from the factory tires.

P rated tires belong on pavement. I don't even live on a paved road. If they made C rated tires for the Mustang I'd use them.

I run C rated Terra Grapplers on my minivan because I got tired of punctures every time my road was graded.

I have been running 40 psi. I wasn't comfortable any less. 32psi? Seems really low but at this point, it is give it a shot or shell out $1500 for new rubber...

40 psi, Holy Hell that's high.

I haven't read all the replies yet, but there are charts/calculators for this. They cross reference what the door sticker says the tires load rating/size/pressure should be vs what your new tires are.

Even at that, my Toyo 35 x 11.5-17 Load C chart out at 32 PSI , yet that was still pretty stiff, dropping to 30 helped. I've tried 28, it rode much nicer, but that low of pressure sketches me out on the hiway.

I went with the 10.5 because they’re D’s, also I liked the look of them. For my kinda trails these are perfect.

A thread about someone not satisfied with E rated tires on a Bronco?

I went from 40 PSI to 30 PSI in my Ridge Grappler E rated and it was night and day difference. Still rated at over 1500lbs per tires load - im good.

E rated tires are overkill for the Bronco. I had them on my Ram 2500 and ran them at 50 psi when not towing and 75 psi when loaded up and pulling an 8K lb trailer. Not too bad on that truck but the E rating is far more load capacity than you could ever need for the Bronco.

I was planning to go the pizza-cutter route with 255/85-16 33s. This thread has me second guessing since the only options are E load.

Well, it's simple: bigger, heavier, more aggressive tires = worse road performance. Personally, I'm loving the 25+ mpg/handling on the freeway with my stock 32s. May upsize to standard load, mild tread 33s when the stocks go bad but nothing more if even that. Been there done that not worth it if you aren't hardcore wheeling.
