"C Rated" Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Going to cut to the chase for those not happy with stiff e rated tires, GET THESE! I spent the last 4 years running e rated tires and had been wanting to try these for a while. It was time for new tires again and i finally pulled the trigger. Running size 285/75/17 on my boss coilover setup which is basically 34"x11.5" and have no rubbing which I'm happy about. This is the biggest C rated tire I could find in production and is amazing the difference in ride. So much smoother and really softened up the bumps. If you're like me and have kicked the idea around I highly recommend making the switch, the difference in ride is huge.

Did you get the LT load C due to size or are these tires only available in light truck versions?
Standard P Metric tries usually have a higher load rating than a load C, if that matters to you at all.
At one point I had a set of load C LT265/70r17. They have a max load of 2,470 lbs. The P265/70r17 had a max load of 2,679 lbs.
Maybe that’ll help someone.

I have a set of LT load C 35x12.5 BFG Mud Terrains on my jeep, but they're for a 15" wheel. Idk if they go up to a 20" wheel in that load rating. Could have something to do with the smaller sidewall.

The "C" rated Nittos are a joke. According to their own published data, there is zero reduction in weight. All you're doing is reducing load capacity while gaining nothing. And if the weight is the same, that means the construction is virtually identical, which means the ride quality can't really be better either.
