I know lower than E load tires for 18 inch (OBX) wheels are few and far between, but I thought I remember a member here that was able to get some C or D rated bigger AT tires that were not listed on the market yet, any one have any idea what those were? Or else any recs for C tires? Biggest I found were the Grabber ATX 275/70/18's. I was hoping to go 285/70/18 at least for the stock wheels.

I'd love to hear opinions as well. I'm looking to put some 325/65/18 Nitto Recon Grappler, load range E on my Badlands Sasquatch but am concerned about on road ride harshness with the 18's plus going from the stock load range C to the E. Does anyone have any first hand experience with 18's in a load range E on their Bronco?

I have the BFG KO2 275/70/R18 in load range E, and I can tell you that I can feel every little bump and sometimes skip/bounce when taking a turn on a slightly wet road. My Tire pressure was at 36psi, and now I am running 32psi, and it seems to have helped A LOT. Eventually, my goal is to go back to a C load range with a 17" wheel. This is my daily driver @80miles per day, so ride quality is pretty important, but I can almost live with it at the lower PSI. Hope this helps.
