Interested in what others have found out.
Another tack...

The first question is; will a ST205/75R15 LRD with 2150# of load capacity give you 10% in excess load capacity above your vehicle certified GAWR axles? (Vehicle Certification label).

If the LRD tire will not satisfy the 10% RVIA load capacity reserve recommendation, ask Keystone for a size recommendation that will.
