Depends on what you will use your jeep most for. Daily driver light trail duty go for the Smaller D's If you are going to use your jeep for hard core crawlin go for the big tires and E's and adjust the pressures. Good luck with your decision.

anyboby? - Help!
Tell me how you feel ... honestly.Get them, you know you want them!
They'll look so good C'mon, I'm a girl who refused to ride in her husband's truck because the ride was so bad
. If the ride was bad on my jeep because of "E" rated tires I'd be the first one bitching (and I do it so well 
). If you really cared about mpg you wouldn't be riding a jeep (especially a modified one) - one or two extra miles per gallon doesn't make that much of a difference in the overall scheme of things. (What gears do you have?)If you're biggest concern is the ride, don't worry about it!

psi makes all the difference. If you have your "E" tires aired up to the recommended psi the ride will be brutal. When the shop first put my tires on I could barely keep my jeep on the road. If you chalk test them once they're on your jeep, you'll probably find that a lower psi is what you need (for wear and ride). Just about everyone I know runs our Toyo's between 26-28 psi and the ride is great. 
And hardly any wear noticeable at 10,000 miles on mine.

I have 3.21's w/ a manual., the plan is to regear to 4.56.
I love the Toyo's but I want an A/T. I've got a 30 mi round trip down the interstate every day.
Leaning hard at BFG KO's 315/70. If I decide on an M/T it will be the KM2's. I think those r both D's
Lift and gears will come after I decide on the tire size. My wife refuses to let me get tires until mine
wear out
I guess I sort of agree. (
) W/ 2 daughters That money always seems to be better spent
somewhere else. I think she knows the jeep will turn into a money pit as soon as I get the green light.
So I have about another 15k-20k to WAY over analize every aspect of what I want to do.

When I first put on my 33 x 11.5" (285/75/16) Bridgestone Dueler "Revo" ATs, (D rated), the shop had 85 psi in them......it was like driving on rocks!!! I dropped the psi down to 35 and they drive like a dream. I mean REAL nice!!!
I was caught between the Toyos and Bridgestones for along time, but heard a lot about the great design of the Revos and I liked the tread pattern a little better than the Toyos. Only a slight difference in mpgs. But hell......gas is coming down now!!!.........ya right, I guess we should all feel greatfull....NOT!!!
