Question about Falken Wildpeak M/T - 116Q vs 121Q

[JSFoster75]

I have a question about the Falken Wildpeak M/T tires... (285/70/17)
There is a 116Q (C1 Rating) & a 121Q (E1 Rating) available... The 121Q is a $131 more per tire... *YIKES*

Is the 116Q sufficient for a stock JLUR? If so, would the 121Q be better/safer if hauling more weight consistently and/or pulling a small trailer etc.?
I'm rarely on the interstate although I'll be traveling to Florida in June. (approx 2,000 miles roundtrip), but I'm planning to replace my tires some time after that trip since my K02 A/T's are on their last leg.

A 116 load index is rated for 2,756lbs per corner x4= 11,024lbs total. I would say you’re good for towing with those. People usually go for the higher rating because the side wall is stouter. If you aren’t doing serious wheeling you should be fine with the lower. The ride will be rougher with the higher load index.
