Tire Options

[Raptorrunner2019]

Hello All, I have compiled a list of Tires with information that I could find. I thought this might be a little helpful for reference. All dimensions are Is there anything I need to add/Change? What are your thoughts with all these options?

Well... I spent a lot of time formatting, but it doesn't look how I formatted it...

Nice job.

Quick word on the Duratrack: I bought them because I wanted the snow performance, and I had a 40% Goodyear coupn. They work fairly well everywhere but they are very noisy, and have a truly "BRO!" look. I would not buy them again, difference in snow performance isn't worth the noise and MPH loss.

checking out the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain (E-rated) but lighter than the K02s!
cheaper, AND 50k mile warranty?!

Avoid E range tires, they will ruin your ride quality, and don't really do that well off road unless you air way down. Try to stick to a C if possible, sidewall flex is a good thing.

Besides that, this truck doesn't have near enough payload to warrant an E range.

I have no problem with E range tires on my truck. First set was 35" Nitto ridgegrapplers, then 35" Toyo AT2's. I run 40psi (cold) on the street, and air down do 28-30psi for offroading in the dirt, 20psi for sand dunes. They work awesome and the ride quality is no different from the Load range D OEM tires that were still on the truck when I got it.

what's interesting is that the E-rated Pirelli's weigh less than the C-rated KO2s and have a thinner tread width

The difference between an E and a C is the sidewall construction. A "C" range tire is a 6 ply construction, an "E" range is 10 ply. They may not have that many actual layers but they are constructed to an equivalent, they might both have 2 or 3 but it will be built differently and an "E" is much stiffer. In practice the E range will take 80psi of pressure where the C will only take 50, which is semantics since most of us will run somewhere in the 30's. The big advantage to E range is the load, a "C" will take a load somewhere around 1800 lbs where an "E" will take 3200 lbs. You should not ever have your raptor loaded to a point where a "C" is inadequate.

Weight has a lot to do with compounds sidewall reinforcement type and construction. It has almost nothing to do with load range or tread block size. For instance my current tires are Duratrac with a load range D and massive tread blocks, they weigh less than the physically smaller, less blocky stock tires.

What’s best for purely street / towing?
