These look awesome and I think you’ll prob see a lot more people switching over

What is the gross vehicle weight (not curb weight) on a gen 1? If it’s similar to a gen 2 … C load should be fine. C load 35s weren’t exactly common back then…if even at all.

Gen 1 came with load range D tires.

Car and Driver shows Gen1 141 pounds heavier than a 2

Pretty sure the weight difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2 is way more than 141 lbs. Should be in the 450 lb range.

Yes…but was there even a C load 35 available at the time? Also GVWR is what determines load ratings on tires….The gen two is lighter, but also can haul and tow more. I agree that I would mostly likely stick with D load on a gen 1, but would ford have gone with a C if it existed?

That 141 lbs is likely comparing a SCAB gen 1 with a SCREW gen 2. If i had to make a wild guess.

BFG would have made whatever Ford asked for. The Gen 1 OEM tire was specific to the Raptor, just as every one since has been.

Well yeah that is true. When i replaced the C loads on my gen 2 I ended up with generic and not OEM specific to the Raptor. Slightly different prices and different codes.

You shouldn't run tires with load ranges less than what it came with stock. Tire shops typically won't do that either.

Back in college when I worked at a tire and lube shop, had a guy come in with an old Ram 3500 or whatever was the biggest truck before you got to a dully, and demanded we put on standard 8 ply tires because it was used as a farm truck and he didn't want to pay for OEM recommended 10 ply. We tried to explain why that's a bad idea but the man-child went to the manager and we were forced to after he signed a waiver. Lo and behold 2 weeks later he blew out all 4 tires while loading hay and attempted to get all brand new 10 ply set on our dime. Thanks to that waiver I made him sign it didn't happen.

I think at Raptor Assault they recommend 38 front, 34 rear, something close to that. I just got the Wildpeak AT4 installed. They are at 38 each and feel amazing.

What size AT4's? How do they ride? Just curious, as they are significantly Heavier than the OEM KO2's.
