Tire Load Rating C vs E . I’ve got a 2015 2.7 f-150 and I’m in the market for new tires! Taking this opportunity to size up a tad! Hoping to get a 285/70/18 sized tire (or maybe 295/70/18) for a little bump in height (and let’s be real it looks cool).4064 posts · Joined 2012. #2 · Nov 14, 2014. Load rating is relative to weight. The rated E tires can carry a lot more weight then a JK puts on them, so if you were running them on a loaded heavy duty pickup truck at 30psi you would see them bulge out and feel them squish under the load. On the JKU however, there is much less weight, and ...C rated E rated is overkill on 90% of these trucks IMO. Those tires are made for full size 1 ton trucks. ... I'd personally go with C-rated for your needs, unless you're really worried about the puncture protection of them vs the e-rated tires. 03 NIGHT TACO, Sep 5, 2017 #9. Sep 5, 2017 at 6:07 PM #10 #10. MARSHBUSTER Well-Known Member. Joined ...E-rated tires are reinforced to increase the weight load. Because of this, they last longer than stock tires and lower weight load tires. You can use E-rated tires for long distances without having to worry about factors such as friction. Friction between the road and the tires reduces the wrangler’s handling.I'm used to forums members discussing C, D, and E rated tires and understand each refers to the sidewall layers but I've never come across any discussion on an "SL" (standard load) rated tire. Below are the differences in their specs. 285 /70 R17 116Q SL BSW ($194) Rim WidthWeight: 49. Tread Depth: 14.Aug 21, 2023 · Load range D and E tires have different weight capacities. For example, a load range D tire can handle 1,220 lbs at 65 PSI, while an E tires carry loads at 80 PSI. If looking at their load durability, load range E tires are better, but that is the only difference between them.Load Capacity: The maximum load pressure for SL tires is 35 psi, with a load index of 75-100, and the maximum pressure for XL tires is 41 psi. XL tires carry up to 10% more weight than SL tires, making them excellent for hauling heavy cargo or larger automobiles. Their greater load capacity is due to engineering and strong materials.Also, the C 6 ply tires are a lot lighter weight compared to an E rated 10 ply tires. Load rated C’s are very limited in what’s available in the tire sizes unfortunately, where almost all sizes come in the E rating. So if I can hear some good feedback that the E rated tires air down well and perform with the wranglers.The F has a capacity of 3640lbs. My current tires are E and have a capacity of 4080lbs. I am wondering how the 2 will compare. E max load capacity is based on 80 psi inflation pressure. F max load capacity is based on 95 psi inflation pressure. A specific tire's load range will be a combination of actual size and load range.Bt_ostate. If using off road, driving lots of gravel roads, or towing/hauling heavy weight use lt tires. Lt are tougher and harder tires and thicker side walls, but weigh more. If hwy driving and only occasional off road, gravel, tow then use c. C are lighter and softer so they provide better mpg and grip on pavement.Info About Sizes. The General Grabber A/TX provides 14″,15″,16″,17″,18″,19″,20″ rim sizes. Here one thing to note is that, the 14″ is only available in one size, LT 27X8.50R14, by the way it comes with max tread depth of 16/32. Total weight range of this tire goes from 29 lbs (of 14″), to 75 lbs seen in LT 37X13.50R20.If your truck, van, or full-size SUV comes from the factory rated for LT tires, replacing them with LT tires is best. P-metric to LT is acceptable, but never replace original equipment LT tires with P-metric tires because they have lower load capacity ratings at maximum air pressure. LT Tires for Heavy Loads, Towing, and Off-Road Durability.The speed rating system was developed to help control the safe performance of tires at standardized speeds. A tire's certified speed rating is given a letter from A to Z, ranging from 5km/h (3mph) to above 300 km/h (186 mph). This rating system (see below) shows the top speed for which a tire is certified.

LT-metric, LT-flotation and LT-numeric tires are branded with their load range (load range E or LRE) or their ply rating (10 ply rated) on their sidewalls and list their appropriate load range letter in their descriptions as LT245/75R-16 E, 7.50R-15 D or 31x10.50R-15 C. LT-sized tires featuring section widths of 305mm/12.50" or wider have their ...Tires Load Index vs Load Range: Key Differences. Load range refers to the thickness and strength of a tire's sidewall, which directly affects its weight capacity and pressure handling. Load range is measured using letters that indicate ply rating or number of layers, such as C, D, or E. On the other hand, the load index measures the maximum ...Jan 27, 2023. #20. While there is a side-by-side difference in sidewall stiffness between a C or E-load in a given tire, from the driver's seat this difference will be very hard to detect, especially when compared to the difference in minimum pressure required between your stock P-metric and any LT-metric tire.I don't see load E vs C as a significant variable to MPG. C rated tires can often weigh the same or more than E. E is more about the internal structure of of the belts to contain and support more air pressures. Sometimes that's results in a stiffer sidewall. Stiffer generally doesn't mean more rolling resistance.

If you compare e rated 265 to d rated 265 then the d rated will hold less weight but with the larger 285 its the same. *2007 2500 lbz bone stock :yeehaw.E-rated tires can be located somewhere in the middle of the chart. It signifies that a tire has ten plies and that E1-rated tires have a maximum pressure limit of 80 PSI, whereas E2 tires have a maximum pressure limit of 65 PSI.
