Tire Help - Falkens vs. Toyo (and load rating)
Hey guys, I've been searching around for a few weeks trying to figure out what tires to get for my 4R. I'm upping the size a bit to 265/75r16, and an torn between the Falken Wildpeak a/t3w and the Toyo Open Country at2.

I was all set on getting the Falkens since they are a bit cheaper and look great, but then realized they only come in P or E load rating. The Toyo is available in a C load rating. So, my question is, should I go with Falken E-rating, or Toyo C-rating?

I use my truck as a DD, so ride quality is important, but I got this truck so I can do some offroad/overland trips.

What ya think?

Been looking between the two also except in a 275/70r18. From what I can find Toyo doesn’t offer this size in a C load and Falken does. So I’m going with Falken.

This is the item # for the Falkens I bought. I didn't want an LT tire, these are listed as SL rating (not sure what that is). I wanted the tires with the silica compound and the LT's do not have it. For me, my decision was based on the fact that I don't tow anything, or haul a ton of weight and the silica based tires are 11lbs lighter than the LT tires. They run great and all but one of them needed minimal balancing weights. I also liked the fact that Falken appears to have a great mileage warranty and good customer service. I'm sure you can't go wrong with either brand though.
