Factory BFG’s 35 Load Range E

[Iaroadmaster]

Just took delivery of my 35 Gen 3 (number 5, 1 Gen1, 3 Gen 2’s) and noticed that the KO’s load range is ”E”. All other Gen’s have been “C” load Range. Is this because of the new suspension setup?

Mine are C’s, I’d rather have E’s any day. These things are paper thin

Your new truck came with loads range E? Never known Ford to put those on. Always loads range C. Stiffer ride for you but better off road tire.

BFG probably subbed them due to supply issues for the C's.

I love the C rated ones. They still have a 3 ply sidewall but are light.

I run D rated tires. Great compromise between C's and E's for strength and ride quality. Lighter than the OEM C's too!

If one goes to the local tire store and gets a replacement set of KO's ...C rating. Is that the same tire BFG supplies to Ford or is the stock tire only available OEM?

Gen 1's came with E's, I think Ford went with C's on Gen 2 and Gen 3's for the better gas mileage rating being less weight.

 

[Antho]

Should be C rated. Wonder what your spare is.

There's 2 different versions of the C. One is OEM Ford and the other is OEM Jeep.
