Sidewalls will be stronger and hold up to more abuse on an E tire...

But I would rather have c for the extra sidewall flex. I do like how tough mine are though. You got a tough decision. Just remember some tires only come in certain load ratings.

More flex than an E rated, but more durable than a C rated. E rated also creates a lot more rolling resistance because of weight. Harder on the brakes and the gas tank.

I like the sidewall flex, but constantly worry about tearing them. No problems so far though, and I've been driving through a lot of brush recently (overgrowth on old, unused trails).
