Curly, my 11,300 GVW FW is placarded for D tires. I lost my first tire on I-17 at Black Canyon City in my 2nd year and < 1,000 total miles. In the 3rd year the other 3 went belly up all at the same time. I replaced with a set of E tires because I'd started reading the fora here and educated myself a bit. Those lasted me almost 7 years before all 4 separated within weeks of each other; none catastrophically, thank goodness. Total mileage on these was < 3,500 miles. I put on a set of Carlisle RH E's in '13 and have < 2,000 miles on them, and they =look= good, so far.
Moral of the story...jump up a rating over the placard, and you'll have a lot more leeway.
