Check the sidewall specs, I think that's where a lot of the weight is reduced on the SL versions of truck tires. I don't think I'd run them if your plans are a fair amount of off road time, but if it's just light use off road and mainly street duty they should work out ok.What do y’all think about the SL rated tires on a JL? I’m leaning Nitto RG and it comes in C and SL. SL is lighter and cheaper. Thanks
Look forward to your feedback once you get some time with them, there were a couple other tires I've seen in SL rated so I'm curious how well they hold up.SL has the same sidewall rating as the C on the Ridge Grappler. Most of what I found on the SL suggests it’s a good tire, but maybe a bit less tread to start with. I just pulled the trigger on the SL RG so we’ll see how it goes. They were a good bit cheaper, much lighter, and should ride better. I don’t do any hard core off roading these days so the sidewalls should be fine. Thanks for all of the input everyone. Hope this thread helps someone in the future.
How did this turn out? I was debating the same and was trying to special order terra grapplers SL rated 295/70r18 but they were a little hard to locate and ended up ordering the E rated version. My Jeep for my wife is set to drop at dealer any day. I’m kind of worried as it seems the consensus on this forum is you definitely don’t want E rated tires. This Jeep will be strictly for street use. I liked my stock 18 inch wheels so that is why I was going with that size but I would be willing to get new wheels say in a 17 for more options like possibly in a 315/70r17.SL has the same sidewall rating as the C on the Ridge Grappler.
