Im not into overbuying tires just because they can handle more weight. Going up a size on a single axel is ok but it can lead to more bounce. And dont forget when adding in for weight that the toung takes some of the TT weight off the tires. Both tires will never have the full weight of the TT on them. So the original tires you had selected were more then ok for the TT. Have fun.

True story, there's a limit to the practical benefits of "upgrading" components.
On the boat trailer, which doesn't really go off road and gets "treated" better, I run adequate, not significantly upgraded capacity.
On the sled trailer, I run heavier than needed. Thoughts are, it sits out in the elements year round, and generally gets more abuse when used. Worse roads, forest roads, hidden hazards under the snow, etc. Sometimes lightly loaded, sometimes trailer is stuffed full with 5 machines.
That said, D load vs C for only a couple bucks more is sort of a no brainer. If you don't need the capacity, you don't gotta run full rated tire pressure.

Your correct, some instances it may be better. But i also like to keep it simple , so i always run at the top psi. That way i dont have to keep ajusting to my trips and what i bring. You could also go bias tires for more dispersed camping areas, a lot of the pop up people do that, and say the newer ones are better then years past. Ill stick to my road radials, thats what i do mostly. Works so far. And yea, i have gotten flats, mostly due to nails and screws picked up at the campsites or on the side of the road. In the end its what works for you the best, we all know there are 1500 ways to look at it and mostly, no one is wrong.

Funny story, i did get one load higher on my old pop up camper. Hit a concreate road and man did it bounce. Too light and too much psi. Add to that a single axel. Porpousing at its best. I had to speed up to like 70. Next year i got the TT. That was one of the things on that trip that meade me upgrade.
