I am buying a new set of A/T tires for my new to me Tacoma. I am honestly surprised at how hard it is for me to decide which tire to buy.
My questions are:
1. How much of a difference in ride quality am I going to see between a load range D and a load range E, all other things being equal?
2. One of the tires I am looking at is available only in a SL load range in the stock tire size on the Taco which is 265/70/16. If I move to a 265/75/16 it is a D load range. Is it possible for that bit of extra sidewall height to cause issues with the electronically controlled transmission shifting out right in the Taco? I also want to be able to use chains and I am concerned that extra sidewall height might be an issue there as well.
I'd appreciate thoughts on this.
