[QUOTE="OriginalToken, post: 1534093, member: 27465"] It sounds like mine may be a minority opinion, but I did exactly what you are asking and while I found there was a very slight ride quality reduction and noise increase, it was very small and no issue at all. The over the road ride quality of the Raptor is one of the daily things I like best about it, and I do not feel like the change is significant. I ran my original C rated KO2's at 38F / 35R. I went to E rated KO2's primarily because I found the C rated tires a bit too easy to take damage under some off-road conditions. I wanted the increased ply rating of the E, understanding that this might make the ride a bit more harsh. And they did change the ride a little bit, I was not pleased initially. I ended up reducing the inflation to 36F / 33R and the ride is better, almost indistinguishable from the C tires. It looks like I will get at least twice the life out of these tires as the originals. And I have yet to poke a rock or a stick through the tire, but with the OEMs I had several times by this point in the tires life. When I replace these tires it will again be E rated KO2's. T!
