Default D load range tires?

I am deciding between three tires in stock or near stock size. Cooper Discovered AT3, BFG AT KO2, or Toyo Open Country AT2s. Most have 6 ply c load range and 10 ply e load range LT tires. Does anyone make an 8 ply d load range tire? I think the e load range tires might be a little overkill for me.

I think Kumho makes a D rated tire in 285/65/18. They are pretty hard to find in 275 or larger.

Toyo Open Country AT2 has a limited amount, depending on size.

How much looking have you been doing? The KO2's come in a D range.

I think he's wanting stock size or a little bigger. 285/60/18 is not as tall as stock.

Yes. The BFGOODRICH in stock size 275-65 or 70-18 are E load only and pushing 60lbs.

Unless you're towing heavy or need it for payload, E load tires ride like ****. I had AT2's and they were C load. Great tires and held up well on gravel roads and trails. Currently I have the stock D load range BFGs on my Raptor, and while I will be putting KO2s on it when they're released next month, I'm pissed they're only offered in E load range.

My concern is that the c load range Toyos have the same load specs as the stock SRAS. It doesn't seem like much of an upgrade as far as towing is concerned.

Terra Grappler XL range have a weight capacity of 2750#. That's 11,000# combined. I doubt that you'll tow/haul that much weight on a F150.

Working through this now too. I think I am going with a mastercraft hsx tour as I need a highway tire more than off road. I am going 116 load index which is 2756lbs per tire vs 2601 for wrangler sra.
