A load range “D” tire that is the same physical size as a load range “E” tire uses the same load inflation table. Hence, the LRE tire is essentially the same tire as the LRD with an extra 2 ply rating, which allows it to hold the 80 PSI necessary to gain its maximum load capacity rating.

IMO using the LRE tire inflated to 65 PSI to achieve a LRD rating, provides you with nothing more than any other LRD tire.

Rims are certified by SAE to a load capacity and an inflation pressure capacity. Take a look at the specs on the rims in the reference below as an example.

When in doubt, call or email the rim manufacturer for conformation.
