The 40s are load D as well. The two sets of 38s seem to ride softer/smoother than the 40s. The 40s seemed a bit stiff and I could feel the lugs slightly. However, some of this could be related to springs. The 40s were on progressive springs. Both sets of 38s were on linear springs (albeit different brands of springs).After alot of research and test fitting 37s, I finally pulled the trigger and sold my 315/70/17 ko2's load c and ordered 37/12.50/17 load d milestar's and 17x9 4.5 backspacing kmc machete non beadlocks. I was tempted to get the 38/13.50/17 bc of the load c rating...had them purchased and switched the order to 37s. The deciding factor was based on having a 6 speed with 4.10's and wanting less rotational mass on the brakes/bearings/steering and to reduce the need to spend more $ regearing. Although the 38 is lightweight for its size, it still weighs 10lbs more than the 37. I wish the 37 came in a load c....my tire guru good friend thinks it was crazy to not get the 38 bc the load c will ride softer and flex alot better offroad. I'll have them mounted this week...I'm sure I"ll regret not getting 38s.
Currently running the 38s at 26 PSI.
