Looking for a little input on tires. I am upgrading to a 35 should I go E rated or should I go C rated? Obviously E rated is better for the woods but I don't spend all my time in the woods

I'm looking at 35s also. Leaning towards:

Cooper
Discoverer MTP

LT315 /70 R17 121Q D2 OWL
ITEM# 11975
D2 Load Range

from Discount Tire Direct.

They only weight 63 lbs and tire weight is a big factor in performance.

I am getting the KO2's again but in 315. My buddy said the D rated are discontinued. I am leaning towards the C just to keep the on road characteristics

3rd row. Just need some carpet. I’m saving the factory cargo cover/carpet to use when we remove the seat/brackets in a few years.

Sorry, I don’t want to rain on your parade but you are putting seats in an area that is not designed to hold passengers. I would talk to an auto-engineer first or reinforce that area. That area is now outside of the rear axle and tires, probably in the rear crumple zone. That just seems super risky.

I will not be participating in this forum as of 8/31/2018. It's been a fun ride, but it's time to move on. Take care. - Dustin

Thank you for your concern and you’re not raining on anyone. They have been consulted and I am aware of the risk. I take a risk every day I hop in my vehicle as we all do. I feel just as safe in the back of this as I do in the back of a TJ when considering a rear collision. I am also working on a hoop to extend the roll bar.
Would it make you feel better if I made a disclaimer? This is for Off-Road Use Only.
