Tire load range: C or E?

I'm selecting BFG Ko2 with the standard size for a 2017 TRD Off-Road model. For my off-road adventures I will encounter on dirt roads sand, gravel, mud, snow, ice and even cross-country in the desert. My question I need to answer is which load range (C or E) is best suited for the 4Runner. My main issue is having a tough sidewall and at the same time a little driving comfort on the paved roads. I appreciate your response.

 

I've used E in lots of really bad desert offroading with lots of pointy things to puncture tires like sticks, rocks and cacti and E survives it the best but does get a puncture every now and then. Guess it depends on how severe the desert driving, if just on dirt roads I would go C and save weight and gas.

I want to thank those who responded to my post regarding C or E load range. Once I have purchased my tires and have placed some miles on them I will post the results.
