Don't get carried away upping the weight capacity you will just pay more and get a harder ride. (text deleted)
I do not agree.
I went up one load range and with a slightly wider tire (with adequate dual spacing), and was able to reduce my front tire pressure (after weighting all 4 corners and checking the load/pressure chart) from 110 psi to 90 psi. The lower tire pressure sure makes the coach ride better.

Actually, if the axle weights remain the SAME, the recommended tire pressure for the tires will be EXACTLY the same, no matter what load range tires you install.
In other words, if your "G" range tires require 100PSI and you switch to "H" range tires, you will still have to inflate the new tires to 100PSI. You cannot lower the tire pressure with a higher load range rated tire UNLESS you were running your previous tires with too much pressure.
