It's the only 15" tire, I know of, that is load rated 10 ply/E/80 psi. Hard ride off road, but I don't think any worries about sidewall punctures. Each tire is rated at 2755 max load.....that is more than the whole rig, loaded, weighs!

I prefer E rated tires on my off road rigs. Just run them at the correct tire pressure for the weight of your vehicle and the ride will be as good as any. Probably around 26-30lbs psi for a Tracker.

A lot of people like to complain about E rated tires, and it's almost always because they run them at stupid high PSI for the weight of their vehicle.

Agreed. 40 psi looks to be the sweet spot, between stiffer sidewalls, and smooth "enough" ride. Plenty of contact area, side to side, so it won't wear the centers too much. First mileage check, still at 24 mpg.
