I had E-loads on my F-150 and they were terrible in the rain. I can't find any reason why the C would be any better but I wish that were true. Falken uses the silicon compound in the SL load but not the E and that is supposed to be the reason why the SL handles wet roads better. They clearly state that the E loads won't handle slick roads quite as well. I have seen nothing about the silicon compound in the KO2s in any load range.
This video explains the difference between sl and E load in the Falkens at the 2:00 mark. I am not getting the mileage you get now btw. about 17 in the city. Maybe 20 on the hwy if I take it easy

How many miles do you have on your KO2s? Mine started to suffer after about 10k. The rubber compound just seemed to get really hard.
