C load range, lightweight M/T 315/70-17 tires for Ranger Raptor

[Hande]

Over here, there is not much rock crawling, but instead we have looots of wet mud, swamps etc to dive in So the risk of a sharp rock or something else penetrating tire sidewall is very low. Ranger Raptor KO2 or KO3 oem tires are nice overall, but not exactly what I need.

So my question is: is there any lightweight tire, that would be great in mud, but would be C load range / comfortable on road and lightweight to not mess up mpg very badly?
Good Year Territory MT 315/70-17 looks promising, but only 35 psi and it does not seem like a real M/T tire... Could be 305/70-17 or something close to that as well.

I already have Nokian LT3 studded tires for winter, so all weather or snow performance is not interesting for mud tire.

Any advice?

Those Goodyears are a good tire, they come on the Bronco Sasquatch and youll be surprised what they can do. They do hold and throw rocks tho

I think the Baja Boss come in C range, or D at least, I had those on my Bronco and loved them, no issues in the mud

Goodyear called that MT a multi-terrain, not a mud terrain as most would assume.

Still does pretty well

Yeah, I haven’t run them personally but I have been tempted to grab a set. I do snow driving so have leaned toward 3 peak rated tires. Supposedly they are pretty decent in snow so I may end up giving them a shot anyway.

Territory MT is starting to sound good... How many psi you use with it, I think maximum was 35 ?

I run these tires on RTR wheels. I've got about 40k on them. Will be purchasing another set when it's time. I run them at 35psi. Been averaging 18ish mpg overall, I do have the ProCal, intake and downpipes.

Funny you posted this, i was trying to figure out this very thing over the weekend and I just started a spreadsheet with some options here:
