This question pertains to my JL Rubicon on order.
It is my understanding that the weight of a tire really effects how fast axle parts wear out. If this is true would I get the same amount of wear and tear on the following tires;
BFG KO2, 315 75R 16, 68lbs. width 10.2", height 34.5", rated E.
vs.
BFG KO2, 37x12.5R 17LT, 69lbs. width 10.3", height 36.5", rated D.
I'm on the road 95% of the time (MPG being some what important). The hardest trail I take would be the Rubicon once every other year. So is it safe to run on a D rated tire vs. an E?
