Default Tire rating question

So I recently installed a teraflex 2.5in lift on my 2017 JKU and I am looking at getting 35s. I priced out some KO2s and they are offered in both a C and an E rating. Which of these would be best? My jeep is my daily driver and the only off roading I do is on trails and sand.....I have also thought about duratracs....any suggestions?

I run the E load and have no issues on or off-road. They have been a great tire.

based on your described usage I would go with the C rated KO2.

E rated are for 3/4 ton and bigger trucks to carry weight and for towing. Stiff sidewalls and they are designed to be run at 85 psi. They don't hook up well aired down and will ride rougher then a C rated tire. Its a no brainer to run a C.
