| PLEASE do not buy E range tires....the FJC weighs WAY too little for an E range....if your local shop sold them to you for an FJ Cruiser, never buy there again....
I have a set of 285 E-range NTG's on my 3/4 ton Chevy Duramax and tow a 15,000# gooseneck trailer behind it....love the tires....great handling, great load capacity, great wear.
NGA-FJC has them in an E range on his FJC and they are worthless on the trails....a set of 285's is rated for what, 3700# PER tire?? You'll need to knock a LOT of air out for the sidewalls to have ANY chance of squatting....D range will actually flex the sidewall AND be properly rated for any imaginable weight you can stuff into your FJC
