There is no difference in tire *compound* between load C and E rated BFG KO2/3 tires.
Also the ply rating is actually in fact an increase in effective plies in the treadbed on these tires. It's an actual 3 ply sidewall and 7 ply effective tread on the E.
Ultimately, any of these will be fine...
One last point of clarification here. Some Mfgs could absolutely engineer their higher load rated tires to have more puncture resistance sidewalls. It's just the devil is in the details and you shouldn't assume that to be true. BFG has chosen not to do that.
Other manufactures actually have...
You can believe this to be true, but It is simply incorrect. An E rated ko2 or 3 isnāt āstrongerā than a C load. BFG engineers have even confirmed this. Itās a very common misconception.
I understand this might not be intuitive to most people. But, nonetheless higher load rating BFG off-road...
E rated KO2/3 are NOT stronger tires than a C in regard to the sidewall. They just have different load ratings and construction changes. These are both 3 ply sidewall tires. The old adage about "8 ply, 10 ply, etc" tires doesn't apply to modern radial tires. It's an approximation to an old...
I had one of the initial batches of SmartCaps to come to the US several years ago. This was on a gladiator. It was decent and a good option at the time.
That said, it was heavy and the modular design meant it had to be tightened regularly. It was also damaged in shipping and that is something...
Twin Cities, MN.
Dealer also had a short bed on order that is discounted just a bit less ($~2200 or so). Both were in white. They have a couple bronze coming in that are marked down ~$400 at the moment, but I bet they come down once they hit the lot.
I'd originally been interested in the...
Iām enjoying my new Trailhunter. But the interior feels Ike a cheap joke compared to our last Gladiator Rubicon and wifeās Wrangler Rubicon X. (Seat is nicer to sit in on the Taco though).
Overall very happy with the move from the Gladiator to the Tacoma. Itās fun to have something new to play...
$2850 off MSRP on a ā25 LB Trailhunter this past weekend. MSRP was $65k and change (bed liner and black tailgate inlay). Not the greatest, but happy with the transaction, ease at the dealership, and they were generous on my trade. So overall deal was a win.
