Mastercraft HT on my 78 C25. It's only a 2wd but it sees more dirt than most of the Jeeps around here.

Mounted up some 235/85-16 Cooper STT Pro's...
Damn, I started this thread over 9 years ago! I am currently running Cooper AT3 in 235/85 on my Xterra but am considering switching to 265/75/16 in a load range C. I love the size overall of the 235 but feel it is just too rough of a ride on a lighter vehicle like my Xterra. Especially as the tires age and the rubber gets harder.
Is load range C not available in the 235/85?
Unfortunately not. I would be ecstatic if they were .

There was a Pirelli model that I ran across that was a class c. I think it was the Scorpion Mud terrain.
How do you like the new Firestones? I can't find much info on them including specs. They seem to be very light weight compared to other tires though if the specs I have found are accurate.
That weight was a big reason I went with them. 10lbs lighter than the same size K02s.
I heard the KO2s new compound isnt 3 Peak rated, these are. You can tell by the picture background, I kind of need it to do well on snow.
They were installed yesterday, so no super valuable opinions yet.
The weight didn't seem to be a problem over the stock Goodyear ST. No noticeable power loss.
They have more road noise, not much though, and the soft door uppers are noisier still.
I didn't notice an issues with them being E rated, the ride felt the same.
They fill the wheel wells better than the stock 225/75R16s, and look like they belong on the Jeep.
The tires are smaller, lighter, and less aggressive than what's put on the Rubicon by the factory, so I had little doubt they would work fine.
I'll stick with this size as long as I own the Jeep, but won't know the quality long term on the X/Ts for a while.

My BFG KO2s are 3 peak rated, but they're a 285/75r17, I doubt the size makes a difference in their rating, but for your info they are indeed 3 peak rated

Looks like the KO2 DT is the one that's no longer 3 Peak rated.

The set of BFG KO2 non-DT I ran had the 3 peak mountain in 235/85R16, load range was E. Tread did wear fairly quickly so perhaps that's the reason for the DT version.
