Too funny, lol. I personally hate FWD cars, but that is just me. Every body has wat they like/dislike. For BOIRD, truck it be. I shall neva if I can help it own a car again or a SUV, though pretty, does not fit my "specific" needs. I was in the "dealership" one day ;looking at a 98K Demon, real pretty. Dang sales person runs over, trying to sell me this "great" car. I said, WTH am I gonna use it for? Put in 2 plastic grocery bags and a box of Hershey Bars? Not think I can tow trailer and such or even make a decent grocery run. Strictly a fantasy vehicle. Now if I win the lottery, we shall see, lol. All IMHO...So because we have 1/2 tons we aren't supposed to put E rated tires on them? lol ...
Some of you guys on here are pretty funny, E rated tires are perfectly fine for a 1/2, people who are used to soft riding family cars, sedans, sports cars just don't feel comfortable driving a truck that is rough with some good tires on them and that is fine, but the comfort level only drops a bit, some people are just not meant to drive RWD vehicles and that is fine too, lol ... and yes even though you have a 4x4 you are still driving in RWD 90% of the time even more .... these are for the Men not the little boys lol ...
@Cheechdog: I do not run "E" because I personally do not need that much tire. With the "sporty" 3:21 rear and such, more of a grocery machine. But I do at times pull my 14' Stock trailer at 2150 lbs, loaded with hay and/or hossie, or get stuff, and the "C" rated ply tires be wat I need. I made the decision to change tires, when 1 day, went to a MC club meeting and it was sleeting and frozen rain precipitation. There is a lil overpass by restaurant going over interstate. I left restaurant, and there were 3 vehicles spun out and hit overpass guardrails. Now, I reach down, switch to 4WD high, and think I am good (BTW, not from TX, grew up in Nor'easters), . Not, friggin SRA's dry road highway tire. I almost bit the wall at 15 mph. Needless to say, I had Falkens on the truck in a week. When we had the 8" of snow plus ice here last February, I had to drive off the road in the grass to get to town since Plows and such not exist here. They were using "Road Graders" to plow roads. Well, I had no issues in the grass and 8" of snow. Made those "C" Falkens worth every penny, of course all IMHO...
ADDED TO CHEECH: Fine looking ride.
