Factory BFG’s 35 Load Range E

[ChaseH]

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!

What tires?

 

[Pacific Wheel]

Should be a C rating. Outside of a harsher ride there isn't much of difference. Both have 3 ply sidewall but the E can take higher PSI and carry more load. The load rating C is softer tread (probably why they wear quicker than the E) and has a higher speed rating (S vs T). But if the ride is good to you I'd probably consider it a blessing. Better wear and the weight is practically the same. Only a 1lb difference.

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

What’s the difference other than $4 and “Ford performance” in the description?

What’s the difference other than $4 and “Ford performance” in the description?

The only difference I can see is the speed rating. The Raptor tires are "T" 118mph and the Jeep tires are "S" 112mph.

I prefer the E rated tire for my use I tow a little heavy, plus the trails I do go on are more rock than sand. No fun changing a tire out on a trail. So I would consider it a blessing.

I have the 37pp and I see C and D load range for the BFGs offered. C load range is Ford OEM.

Better ride too as the sidewall flexes more.

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.

My Gen-1 2011 had C's.

My Gen-1 2011 had C's.

And my first Gen 1 2010 Scab new had D’s. That was the previous version of KO2s. Ride was good though. I run Falken Wildpeaks on my 14 Screw. E rated as I tow some. Ride is a little stiffer but it’s all ok.

OOPS….75 year old eyes and bad lightning…..I do have “C” load rating on my 35 Gen 3 KO’s. Sorry for the bad sidewall read and thanks to all who replied. I don’t want to give the Geezers on FRF a bad reputation!
