Thoughts and experiences with XL tires on gravel/shale roads? Our family trips take us off the beaten path, and my gut says to stick with E rated tires. I have always had 3500's with good all terrain or hybrid tread, and never had an issue off road. As this will be my first 1500 in 25 years, I'm trying to figure out the balance between less weight for daily driving with an XL tire, vs the extra level of safety offered off road with an E rated tire.
I suppose in the back of my mind I'm worried about 'ruining the ride' of the 1500 with E tires. I'm guessing a 1500 with E tires will still offer a more compliant ride than my 3500's, and give me peace of mind with the family when out in remote areas.
One of the hunting camps we go to, every year there is at least one or two trucks or SUVs sitting on the rim from the ride in. I'd like to avoid being that guy.
