[QUOTE="B E N, post: 1527189, member: 33355"] The difference between an E and a C is the sidewall construction. A "C" range tire is a 6 ply construction, an "E" range is 10 ply. They may not have that many actual layers but they are constructed to an equivalent, they might both have 2 or 3 but it will be built differently and an "E" is much stiffer. In practice the E range will take 80psi of pressure where the C will only take 50, which is semantics since most of us will run somewhere in the 30's. The big advantage to E range is the load, a "C" will take a load somewhere around 1800 lbs where an "E" will take 3200 lbs. You should not ever have your raptor loaded to a point where a "C" is inadequate. Weight has a lot to do with compounds sidewall reinforcement type and construction. It has almost nothing to do with load range or tread block size. For instance my current tires are Duratrac with a load range D and massive tread blocks, they weigh less than the physically smaller, less blocky stock tires. [/QUOTE]
