Would there be a big difference in the stiffness of a Pro comp all terrain tire in a load range of D to a Goodyear Mtr\kevlar load range of C
Trying to put more agressive tires but do not want a stiffer ride?
Tks.for any help

I dunno about ride quality, but I have a feeling that a load range C tire is going to be a lot nicer off road when you air them down. They will flex and bend over objects as well as provide a better contact patch at a higher tire pressure. Besides MTRs are way cooler than ATs if you plan on being offroad much .

I agree and also think the load range c will provide a softer ride on road.
