285 70 17 KO2 C Rock Warrior Wheels on LX570

Anyone with the above combo on your LX570? This is mostly for daily driving, not going to see much offroad. Wonder how the KO2 load range C on specifically LX570 with AHC suspension instead of E.

I searched, but not the exact match I am looking for. Most are LC with E, but none on 570 with C.

With a 17" wheel, you could probably do a Load Range E tire, and still have a more supple sidewall than the stock 20" wheels with P rated tire. A load C would have the advantage in unsprung weight for better ride. Though with an AT tire compound and tread, along with that 17" wheel, you likely will be giving up traction and handling sharpness over the factory highway tread type tire.

I'm running a heavy load range E in a large 305 section width here. She still rides pretty darn well. I can definitely feel some more unsprung mass, but in general, AHC and the excellent noise isolation does a great job at keeping the NVH of an aggressive AT tire at bay.

You said your intent is not to do much off-road. Any particular reason you're seeing out a 17" wheel and tire package other than for looks?

Mostly for look, love the look of RW wheels =) This is wife daily driver and long trip vehicle. But for seen I may do some offroad wheeling with it in the future. I figure I can flip the switch to sport mode and firm up the handling if C is a tad soft.

Yup, best of all worlds. It should work great. Truthfully, you're not giving up anything by going with a load range C tire, and gaining some desirable qualities. LR C will still be PLENTY stout and capable of any off road terrain.
