Question:
Is there any advantage or problem with using a load range E tire when the trailer is within the D range weight?

Expert Reply:
The ride might feel a little more stiff with the higher capacity load range E tire. And you would want to make all of the tires the same load range or you could see uneven tire wear. Other than that there isn't really any issue with using an E instead of a D.
The Higher load range E tire will likely require more air pressure. For example on a 206/65-10 load range D tire such as # AM1HP54 it will have a rating of 1,330 pounds at 70psi. But the load range E in the same size, # AM1HP56, is rated for 1,650 pounds at 90 psi. So the valve stems in the wheels also have to be rated for the higher pressure.
