Tire Load Range

[supercraig1]

Sorry,
I'm sure this has been covered before but I can't seem to find it.

I'm in need of some new rubber for the KJ. I was looking at the Goodyear Duratracs or the BFG KM2s.

These are rated load range E and D respectively. Should that be a problem???

Thanks,
Craig

Also,
I'm not gonna be able to swing a lift at this time (if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna get a proper lift) so was thinking i'm gonna go 225/75/16. This good???

225/75/16 is a factory size. A 235/70/16 would be fine too. Usually even a 245/70/16 is fine, but with the more aggressive treads it tends to rub more.

The stocks that came on my sport are 215/75/16. So I guess that a 225 should still be ok?

would 245 fit without the lift or pinch weld crushing?

What year/how many miles are on the KJ?

225/75 will fit fine, 245 most likely, probably won't need to pound the pinchweld.

it's an 02 with 90k on it.

I keep coming back to listings with load range E. Is this way too thick/stiff???

Last 2 sets of tires I have run were E rated. Some people don't like them because they are too heavy, but I like them a lot.
