Falken wildpeak at3w 116T vs 123s

I realized that they changed the
LT 275/65R18 116T load C —-to—- LT 275/65R18 123S Load E . C isn’t available anymore in the wildpeak at that rim size.

From the tires expertise, any difference in the new one compared to old one? Pros and cons? Buying a 4 tires and I found older ones with load C 116T. Price difference is about 50$ installed.

Thank you

 

Well yes, E load will be stiffer riding than C load. The load you choose would depend on your needs. I think C load would be perfect as it is not too heavy but much stronger and beefier than the stock SL tires. I run E load and they are a bit much for a 1/2 ton truck in my opinion more suited for HD trucks. But, I had to get E load for the tire and size I wanted to run.

E loads are heavier, will have more plys, are stronger and ride stiffer. They do help tighten up handling on turns however. They also help with heavier hauling and towing handling.
