C or E? - Land Rovers Only

Big Kat · 06-06-2006, 01:03 PM

Buying new Firestone Destination MTs. I have a 99 DiscoII with 2" OME. Don't want to upset the gear ratios and COG too much so planning on 245x75x16. They are available in both C load and E load. I'm a D man myself, but they're not available in this size. I'm assuming C load would be a bit more flexible. These are for summer/fall offroad use with plenty of highway time. No trailers. No winch. Decisions, decisions. Which way would you go?

Go for the E rating. Should be a bit taller tire(by a mil or two

) also!

I have the Firestone Destination MT's 245x75x16 on my 55 S1 and there great tyre's but defanitely go with the E's. I've got the C's and they always look a little low even at 35psi on a light truck.

Enjoy !

I dont know, maybe if you do a lot of rocks you might want to go with the lower one.
