I upgraded to "XL" rated tires for my F150 with 275/55/20 tire size.
They are 50 psi max and have a load rating of #2833 per tire at full psi.
Since the rear axle rating is only #4050 on my F150, I feel it's okay.
I run them at 35 in the rear and 40 up front when not towing. I'll bump them up to 50 on the rear and 45 up front when towing.
Just what seems to work for me on tire wear, comfort and peace of mind..
LRE tires in the same brand/AT were about #20 heavier per tire and cost a heck of a lot more.. Sure, if I had a 25 or 35 series truck that's what I would get, but I just have a wimpy 1/2 ton, so I make due... ha, ha... :)
It's just what works for me.. Since you already have the LRE tires, I'd just run them at the different psi settings based on your actual weight like you have already researched.. Overkill? Yes, but you got what you got so just run what works best for you..
Good luck! Mitch
Those sound like a good tire for a 1/2 ton TV.
