I decided to move from Load Range C to Load Range D tires, same size tire. I noticed the new Load Range D tires are a little heavier that the Load Range C tires that had been on my 5th Wheel. Should I be concerned about moving to the Load Range D tires?
NO! For a higher-rated tire, you =expect= it to be heavier. Same with a truck. A 1T weighs a =lot= more than a 1/2T; that strength has to come =somewhere=, and that's more beef. If you are way over-tired, then consider running 5 lbs less in the tires, especially when running light. I went from D to E tires and, when I'm running light, run at 70 psi; if I'm running heavy, I'll run back up to 80. As another said, make sure your rims are rated for 65 psi, though.
