225 80R15 LRD tires at 65PSI are rated to carry 2540 pounds
225 80R15 LRE tires at 65PSI are also rated to carry 2540 pounds and at 80PSI are rated to carry 2830 pounds.

Why go to the expense of buying "increased load tires" and then run them at reduced pressure and lose that extra capacity. There's "nothing extra" and no "increased protection" when you run LRE tires at LRD pressures.

Sort of like going on a diet, then buying snack food to put in the refrigerator, knowing that you won't eat it and watching it go bad on the shelf while not using it.
