That might be a good option to consider although I would still need a good set of 14" rims. Going from D to E would give me the extra 2 plys though and about four seasons of annual 10% load degradation. Too many decisions. 
T he problem with these little single-axle trailers is that you only have one tire between you and the pavement ...  :lol: |
Randi, and therein lies one of the biggest reasons to upgrade to a larger tire. I don't know if you have, but I have had a wheel completely separate from the axle on a single axle trailer - not fun, and I was only on a mountain back road. I have however seen many single axle trailers with blowouts etc. on the side of the road. The loss of one wheel on a 2 wheel trailer is far more problematic, and dramatic, than the loss of a tire on a 4 wheel trailer. IMO I would go with the LRDs at the least just for that comfort zone.
