Load range E vs C

[ATLBronco75]

Most of the tires I’m considering are offered in both load range E and load range C for the sizes I’m interested in.

It seems like the lighter tire is the better choice since I’ll never be towing but I’m confused about what the Bronco actually needs.

C load. E load are for much higher vehicle and towing weights.

C is all it needs, but I’ll have E on mine. I like a thicker sidewall off-road.

E tends to ride more harshly, all things being equal. Typically has a harder tire compound and almost always has stiffer sidewalls. This can making “airing down” less effective in terms of widened footprint and increased off road traction. As mentioned above E rating tends to be more durable, especially if you use them in rocks or other terrain hard on tires. Again this is all things being equal in terms of similar size and tread pattern. I have always been biased for the lower load rating that covers my expected use.

hi
this is true, But for me load range E it's best. My expérience with load range C is bad with K02 and lot of gravel road and pothole after 2 years of use and 20k the sidewall come to be soft and cause flat . I change for load range E and evrything stay perfect no soft sidewall = no more flat. with F150 FX4 for me no more buying load range C. I RUN 50 PSI
