E load vs C load tires - what's your pick?

[EasternSierra]

...The Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T and KO3s are on my short list for my next off-road tire. The only downside is the MTs are E....

MT has 33/35/37" flotation sizes in D. You may need to search to find a vendor who has the size you want in stock.

Speaking of the KO3... does anyone know if there a C range version of the 315/70R17 coming? I only see a D and an F right now.

I am curious about this as well.

I just looked and Tire Rack was not showing the 35x12.5-R17 Mickey Thompson BB AT in LR D, just the P315/70-R17 in LR E. They used to list the 35" in LR D. Discount tire shows the M/T BB AT 35" LR D flavor, though. I hope M/T didn't discontinue the 35" flotation model because I'm loving these M/T BB AT tires so far.

I'll spare you all my typical longer winded reply and give this medium winded reply. I vote LR D. With my heavy truck and at 22 psi, the 35", LR D, M/T BB AT worked really well in the limited trail miles I have so far. That pressure put the side bitters in position to do some work and it seemed I needed the rear locker less often. The tires are equally swell on the road. They manage the truck weight (as much as 6,200 lbs) much better than the OEM GY LR C tires, both on and off road.

That's why I said you have to look around. The MT site shows 33, 35, and 37" flotation sizes. Tire Rack doesn't have the 35s and neither does another site I looked at. A third site (don't remember name) does have them in stock. Since they're still on the MT site I assume they're not discontinued.
