So my question to the group is this: I will soon be upgrading my trailer kings. Gonna drop the 14s and go to a 15" Wheel. I discovered that Discount Tire has Carlisle Radial HDs in a LR E rated for 2840 lbs each at $96/tire. If I go with a LR D tire they will also match Wal-mart's price for the LR D tires at $61/tire at a capacity of like 2250 lbs each. My rig has a GVWR of 7750 lbs.

Going with 4 LR E tires gives me a carrying capacity of 11,360 lbs, vs 9,000 for the LR D tires. We often talk about extra carrying capacity, but will that LR E tire be so much extra, and so stiff (vs the actual trailer weight) that I will bounce my trailer to death from being underloaded for the tires? I am thinking the LR D tires will suffice, but wanted to get opinions on experienced folks.
