They seem to like the higher load ranges in that size. They do have a D but otherwise E and F. Be interesting to see how you like them!

Without super accurate testing methods we seem to find the C rating flexes/folds better on snow than the D & E rating. Snow obviously is much softer than rock so maybe that's why the D & E rating sidewalls still seem to do so well on the rocks????


We all try to run C ratings here. A buddy just bought E rating on a super aggressive tread pattern so we had hoped to compare them side by side this winter but I don't have an engine yet. :(

Yes these are E rated at 39xx pounds each, I've found that if the compound and tread block play nice together that its really not an issue in rocks/dirt/mud. Don't get to play in snow but do get to in sand, I'll be sure to test them out 😁 FYI they do make the 40" in a C rated.

What's weird is that when I clicked on the tires pic to open it up and it popped up on my screen, I could smell the rubber.....
