If I were that close with tire loading, I would go from a LRC to a D or a D to an E with a Maxxis or Carlisle tire...metal stems, balanced and with a TPMS installed.

There are enough threats on the road without incurring one you could have prevented with a little preparation and maybe more than a few dollars. Doing nothing could result in even more dollars expended.

That about sums it up perfectly.
