E rated mud tires
So does any tire company out there make mud tires in E range. I've been running D's and they seem to not last very long and cup out the front tires pretty fast. I really want the Toyo open country MTs I don't want a super loud tire though and i hear those are not loud but I'm not sure if they make them in E.

BFG Mud-Terrain T/A comes in some sizes in an E rating.
235/85QR16
245/75QR16
The BFG Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 also comes in a few E rated sizes.
245/70QR17
305/65QR17
305/55QR20

I have Toyo Open Country MTs. I've put 2k miles on them this year, so far they aren't bad noise wise. With the deadener I've added, they sound just like my BFGs.
BFG ATs in 315/75r16 handles 3195 lbs at 50psi
Toyo MTs in same size handles 3860 lbs at 65psi.
So the Toyos handle 665 pounds more per tire, I've got to believe that they are "e rated". The weight ratings are a lot like the speed ratings, mostly a range used to compare one tire to another. And just like horse power, it can be tweaked to make one look better or just barely make it to the next level.

I'd look for something over 3400, which the Toyo MTs might be your best bet. You can go to Toyo's website and look at whats available in the MT. I know the 315/75/16 is 3860 at 65psi as stated above. Thats a lot better than the Toyo AT I have now in the same size, its only rated at 3195 at 50psi and feels a little soft under the diesel front end.

How do you find the wear is on the AT's, thats what i've been running now in a 295/75/16 for only a year now and they wore out very bad and the tires before that were michelin LTX's and they lasted very good. so i hope the MTs last me alot better then the ATs considering they want 350 bucks a tire for 35x12.5x18

I don't know how many miles my ATs had when I got them, so I couldn't say about the wear. I do know the MTs are made with a harder compound and people usually get really good mileage out of them.
