Triple axle tires ...help
Got a 1996 38' HR 15000gvwr moving it 900 miles end of april. It needs new tires and so I'm finding myself in the middle of an apparently age old controversy of LT vs ST. Unfortunately I didn't realize that until after I ordered tires. Specs on the tongue is LT23585R16E. It is a triple axle. Some early advice came from a blog from a seemingly smart guy about thicker sidewalls on ST tires so that's what I ordered. However, I have read much more on multiple forums since. My concern is another issue. The tire guy said the tires he ordered are ST23585R16D. Didn't know at the time that D stands for 8ply. Could have swore he told me it was a 14ply tire. I know he said it was a higher load rating and can understand that that may be true but am I in trouble here? Have a transport guy too and I bet he will want to go faster than the recommended 65mph. Just a one time move I hope. Again it's the D ply I have a question about, is it OK seeing it's triple axle?
