Tires--Load Range Increase

Has anyone with a Class A increased their replacement tires, with the exact same size but gone up a load range higher? If so, did it make your ride much harsher?

I was going to do this, but the tire store is telling me that I am better off staying with the original size and load range because the coach was engineered for that tire and the ride would be harsh. However, to counter that argument, the higher load range tires are always more expensive and m Mfg's want to keep costs down.

Also, you could run lower psi in the higher load range tires that might offset some of the harsh ride.

Does anyone have any experience with this and your comments would be appreciated. In my case, Coach came with load range G tire and a H load is available.

Thx

I don't see anything wrong with this practice and have probably done so on my rig, since it was OEM new. Don't concern myself too much with ride and like truck tires better than RV tires too. Then again, my old relic doesn't have a solid front axle either, so I might not see the difference all that much.
