Which tire load rating - SL vs C

[m32]

Hey all,

My wheels are finally coming in (17") and I'm trying to finalize my tire selection. I have a Lux+ on stock suspension and am going to go with 285/70/17.

I'm leaning on the Toyo Open Country or the Falken AT4 but can't decide on the load rating.

Looking for your opinions on whether I should go with SL or C load tire. I don't go offroading and I prioritize NVH first and fuel efficiency second.

Any personal experience would be appreciated!

If no offroading then SL is the way to go. Less weight and better ride.

SL is fine for gravel and forest roads as well.

There is absolutely no reason to get LT rated tires with your list of requirements. They will ride worse and weigh more/have worse fuel efficiency.

Yep, SL for your needs.
