I've seen folks posting about having a lot of tires in C load like Cooper At3, BFG Ko2, etc. in C load as recently as 2019, but I can't find them anywhere. Just don't need an E load tire and not lookin to grab Falken Wildpeak in C 275 at 58 lbs a tire.
Did folks just stop making them in that size recently?

The KO2’s are not available in a C rating. I have KO2 275's and they only come in a E rating. I did a 1.5/1" spacer lift to level out my Pro. I'm satisfied with the look and result, plus I had to do zero mods for fitment. No rubbing and clearance issues fully articulated and I like running my front mud flaps. BUT, at 57 lbs. and a slightly harsher ride than I would like, I will eventually go to a 285 C rating. I think the 285-70-17 is the best size (looks/off road performance) tire on the 5th gen without sacrificing too much. There is a lot more selection on 285's, and due to selection, if you blow a 285 out, it is easy to find another one no matter where your at. It will also still fit in the spare area underneath. A 285 KO2 116Q C rated tire only weighs 50 lbs. The Falken 275 C rated tire is 58 lbs. The 275, size wise is a great compromise between a 265 and 285, but, due to the small selection I would not do it again.
