It looks like all the Nitto trail grapplers are Load range E

Thats too thick isn't it? I was planning to go max of D.

 

nope just fine im running E load range on my 33's duratracs!

 

I'm going the other way. Currently D and dropping down to C. I'm tired of the rough ride and I want the tires to be more compliant aired down in the rocks. Not a fan of running heavy truck tires on a 4,600 pound Jeep.

I wonder why Nitto only makes E Load tires for trail grappler. However the mickey thompson tire I like is 3195@50 and listed as load D

and the Nitto one i like is 3195@65 load range E

 

Running Grapplers and couldn't be happier.

 

cool are they the 13 inch wide ones or the 11.9? 17x9 or 17x8 wheels?

 

Do you care about ride comfort or the tires conforming to the rocks? What are your off-road terrains like?

I run Load E Toyos and I prefer the thicker ply for where I wheel. And my butt can't discern between a Load E ride or a Load D ride. If you're worried about ride comfort or sidewall flex talk someone into letting you ride in their Load C/D/E set-up.

 

thanks - first im concerned about sound fitment of a 17x8 wheel onto a tire that recommends 8.5 rim width minimum on a 35" tire that is 13" or 12" wide

 

I posted up in your other thread (17x8). I ran 17x8's with a 35x12.5 tire that the manufacturer stated 8.5" minimum rim width. You'll be fine, I ran them for a hard 16000 miles. The only thing I would be wary of is dropping the psi below 10, especially in hot weather, you may slip a bead.

 

oh thanks a lot - i was feeling hesitant with using the 17x8 wheel - i just want to do it right and not play games i can certainly not use the 17x8 but would prefer to - i think i will use it tho
