I did it because i am on a gravel roads alot. The extra carcass helps and the lower pressure keeps from getting rock punctures.
^^This. Gravel and dirt roads put a lot more stress on the tires.
Some friends of mine discovered this the hard way over the weekend when they had a blowout on their single axle trailer after towing down a 20 mile stretch of gravel. They had the cheap factory 14" C rated tires and were likely well over the tire rating on the slide side of the trailer due to how the trailer is built. Fortunately only the wheel was damaged and the first thing they did when they got back was ordered up a set of 15" rims and some Goodyear Cargo G26 ribs.
I jumped from Load Range C China Bombs to Load Range D Maxxis tires before I had any issues and, knock on wood, haven't had any tire related mishaps after many thousands of miles towing on all types of surfaces and temperatures ranging from 10 to 110 degrees.
