E rated tire with max psi of 65?
I have Nitto Ridge Grapplers that came on the truck when I bought it used, size LT325/65R18 E 127/124Q. Every E-rated tire I've ever seen is rated to carry its max load at 80psi, so the first trip ...

Good to see where your info comes from. While there are many types of tires, if you would have taken the time to read the link Burb posted, it is a hybrid type (dual purpose) tire, that by design, would work best, considering sidewall and tread at 65 psi. Other tires purpose will vary, and while e-rated, may also be less than 80 psi

All forums are full of opinions!! Seldom are these backed up with facts. In the past, you have posted info that would cause a dangerous condition for someone taking your advice, while towing a heavy trailer. Due to lack of knowledge, you suggested airing TV rears to door sticker (35 psi), even though tire stated max was 50 psi. Yes, I know, the correct info may not have been available in the book at hand. This is where someone's opinion with actual experience matters more.(this info for Grit Dog, concerning his statement of your info always correct) Yes, GD also knows better, from actual experience!
Lots of things to consider for a dual purpose tire, including compounds, softer/firmer, longevity over function, etc.
Lol..."heat is a tire killer"
Is there anyone on this forum, that does not know this...no book necessary!!
Capri...I am not trying to discredit your being a tire tech! Just saying, that like me, you, and others, none of us have the absolute last word on any subject.
While the OP did over inflate his tires, carrying a heavy load (camper) on tires too wide for his rims, it may have kept them cooler, with less squirm. May have improved handling? In any case, my opinion, and from experience, a proper sized tire for the rim size, is best choice.
