Yes they are “C” rated. Made that a point after living with “D” and “E” rated tires on my last Wrangler for several years. The factory 285s KO2s are “C” rated and seem to prove rather rough from what I have seen of them so that helped me to take the leap to a “C”.Looks good. Are those C rated? Any notable difference in ride?
Ride vs factory tires is slightly different, but I have not tuned the tires PSI setting fully. They are currently at 35 PSI “warm” and I think 32 PSI “warm” should be about right to match the factory feel. But 32 PSI when cold will place them very close to the threshold of setting the TPMS off.
Handling is improved. The wider contact surface really makes a difference especially in high speed turns such as freeway overpasses. Sticks like glue now.
Pedal throttle response “feel” is more to my liking now. I found the with 285s it was very touchy and overly response around town in stop and go city driving. The 315s have taken much of touchiness away yet I have lost no acceleration when needed. I am interested in seeing if when I adjust the speedometer to match the new tire size if the throttle “feel” will change back close to what is was with the 285 tires.
