Need new tires - load range
I need to get need tires for my JK. Currently have 47k on my Nittos Terra Grapplers. My rig has a very stiff ride that I originally blamed on my lift but recently learned my tires with an E load range is probably the issue. I was hoping to get recommendations for new tires that will have a smoother ride.
Current setup
Jeep JK unlimited
Nittos terra grapplers 305/70R17
Pro Comp rims 8188
Skyjacker 2.5 lift
What I would like in a new tire-
34 tall
12+ width
All terrain
Quiet on road
Smooth ride
I searched this morning and noticed that dropping to a C load range is probably not possible given my requirements. Would I notice a significant different if I drop to a D load range?
Would love to see pics with you recommendation if available. Thanks for the help! Love this forum.

Sure you have already found out.
"E's" - Great off road, sucks on the street.
"C's" - Not to good off road, great on the street.
"D's" - Sacrifice some of both street and trail use, makes little differance from either direction.
So just pick the one you want and deal with the issues.
