Load range C vs D vs E

[UTME]

I found the specs for the soon to be released BFG KO3 37x12.50R17 Load Range C.

According to the site they weigh just under 67 lbs, or just 3 lbs heavier than the KO2 of the same size and load range C. And 7 lbs lighter than the load range F KO3.

They are also approved to be mounted on 8" wide rims, which is what the Rubicon X35 wheels are. So, tire shops can't give you a hard time mounting them.

I got a set of these new ko3 c rated tires when they were finally released on may 1. And mounted them on the xr wheels. Seem to have some crowning despite being slightly narrower than the ko2 315 tires that came on the jeep from the factory. Like someone else said I ran factory tires 55,000 miles and did trails in Colorado and Utah. Never had a flat tire.

My new wheels weigh 24 lbs, my XR wheels weighed around 38-40 lbs.

That's massively lighter.

Remember the old adage about wheels: Cheap, Strong, and Light: pick any two. Hopefully yours are somewhat strong.

I’ve had my ko2 37’s in a C rating for a bit now….Ive wheeled them in winter and spring (hot and cold).

I’ll say this…they are standard for mud and east coast woods wheeling…they don’t do great with dirt, leaves, mossy rocks but again..they are AT tires

Besides that…I love them. I daily them on road they do great. I’ve wheeled them at 12 psi, has the side wall so pinched that I got bark in between the bead and my wheel (had to de-bead the one side to get the bark out) and the tires never even flinched…no leak, no tear, no gouging. So as far as I’m concerned…besides possibly going MT’s at some point….the C rating has been strong as all get out and deformed nicely off roading to give me plenty of traction on everything besides the above mentioned conditions.
