Those E load (10-ply) sidewalls are really stiff, and for a daily driver that means a jarring ride. If you were loaded with a RTT, Drawers, and lots of armor for overlanding it might weigh it down enough, but lightly or moderately modded the 4Runner just isn't heavy enough for E load.
Someone posted in this tire thread that the Falkens don't use a high tensile steel, which mean the steel cords have to be thicker. It's why their tires are heavier.
Sadly there's next to naught left for C Load 275's. Firestone has them in the Destination AT line, but you only get 12/32 of tread on the LT tire, and they cost just as much as the others.
Instead of chasing a non-existent ghost in 275 C load. I've decided to make the jump to the wider selection that's available in 285. Though C load pickings are still slim, there's more of them than 275. Since you're already lifted with UCA, you might consider doing the same. Most of the 285 C loads available are lighter than the Falken 275 C.
Also consider most manufacturers have a 500 mile "Try it" period. So you could try the E load 275's and see if you can stand them before really making up your mind. I will say 500 miles sounds like a lot to some, but it goes by more quickly than you think. I also would ensure the shop you're dealing with is willing to deal with the tire manufacturer and their return policy before you jump on that train.


One word..... Truckee.

Thanks for feedback. For being a friggin idiot this helpul info.

General Grabber APT = 39.6 lbs. in 255/75/17

I wish they made their Grabber AT/X in that size. I will most likely get the 275/70/17 AT/X as they are amazing tires. I have them in the stock size but just added a 3" lift so they look a little small for the wheel well.

I'm also a fan of the Grabber, the 275/70/17 AT/X is a hulk at 58.5 lbs.

Been down this same road with tire size and weight.
Currently, I have about 7K on the Firestone Destination X/T in 275/70 size. They're load range E and weigh 48 pounds. They ride significantly better than my last E rated 275/70s which weighed in at 55 pounds.
So far great traction in the rain/wet roads and the minor dirt/mud I've gotten into. Dry handling is great, no wandering.

Appreciate the review... Brown Santa just delivered a set of these very tires to me this morning.
