E ride on road?

I'm trying to decide whether to pull the trigger on a great deal on E-rated tires but the majority of my driving is on pavement. I'm OK with a small hit to MPG but don't want a harsh onroad ride. How are the E-rated KOs on road for you?

I understand that load rating also has to do with sidewall durability and not just load capacity, but I run D-rated 285/70R17 BFG TA/KOs and those have pretty firm sidewalls and are pretty damn heavy over the stock tires.

Has anybody owned BFG AT KO's and Duratrac's? Would like to know your impressions of both, noise, snow traction, etc.

X2. They ride good on the road, I do mostly highway driving too. It's a slight hit on acceleration and mpg but I would do it over again.

Do you need mod something in order to use 275 or even 285 tires?

Same here - got my 275's last week and then drove from Philly to Pittsburgh. ScanGauge said I got between 19 and 19.5 the whole way...I'm ok with that!
