    Anyone run these? Am I ok with just a C load tire? Have to go to 295/70 to get the E-load. They end up being a 34” tire. Think that will work well with my set up. Thanks.

    Stock trucks are S load, standard, and are more than enough for the towing and hauling the truck can do.

    C load is more robust than S load, so is more than adequate. No need to run E load. Many of us do run E, but that is often because that is the only load rating in the tire size we want to run.

    C load will ride better than E, they are lighter and more compliant.

    Thanks I appreciate it. I’m torn between the AT4 or Toyo ATIII. Toyo is almost 11lbs lighter. I do mostly road driving with minor trails and camp roads.

    I get it. Wildpeaks are great but they are heavy and depending on what you run you will feel it in acceleration/MPG compared to lighter tires.

    For instance, I ran 275/70-18 Wildpeaks, (33s) and now run 285/75-18 (35s), another brand. Even though the 285s are significantly bigger, my acceleration and MPG improved because the larger tires are actually lighter than the 33s. No hate on Wildpeaks however, they are rock solid, just heavier than most others in the same size. Very tuff, good traction, HD tires so it depends on your needs what works best for you.
