Upgrading a C tire on a C wheel to D doesn't gain you much, but, in this case the Raniers would be gone (don't know if they're good or bad but I would worry - the Carlisle's have proven to be good so far) which is a plus. The Carlisle D should be a more robust tire than the C so that is a plus. Running lower pressure could be an issue depending on the thoughts one has about that. So, there are some positive points to the exchange, it just won't improve load capacity unless the wheels will allow it.

The D rated tire is only $3.00 more than the same size C rated Carlisle tire.
So...to clarify...would there be a problem running the D rated tire at 50 PSI instead of max 65 PSI if 50 is the max for my rims?
