[QUOTE="KAH 24, post: 1645131, member: 43659"] Load Range E for overlanding. 1/2 ton trucks are not “light”. There is no way on earth I’d overland my Raptor on a Load Range C. DISCLAIMER 1: Saving a few ounces of tire weight isn’t my priority when I’m off road. I’d rather have silica, tread depth, sidewall thickness=weight. DISCLAIMER 2: Please all, note, this is my opinion only—based on my objective analysis and safety margin based approach to overlanding. TO ALL—please base your decisions on your priorities, needs, and only see this as my opinion. I wish you safety and good health—regardless of your choices. ——————————————- Raptor weighs nearly 3 tons dry weight (at approx 3 tons w/fluids and no passengers/cargo). NOTE 1: Weigh your Raptor on a freight scale (with F/R load distribution)—with all of your gear, accessories, passengers, doodads, etc.—you’ll be shocked at how much your Raptor weighs for overlanding. You would also be shocked at the front/rear weight distribution. NOTE 2: Weigh yourself and passengers—and lay off of the extra burrito if weight is an obsession. I prefer the E for daily driving and as an all around tire—based on my priorities. EXAMPLE OF PASSENGER WEIGHT: I weigh 175lbs and my wife 125lbs. Please—no offense intended, but one of our friends weighs 290lbs (close to my weight/wife weight combined). His wife isn’t exactly lightweight, which matters. [/QUOTE]
