When I put new tires on my trailer, I went from C to D. The trailer was just below the max weight (by less than 200lbs) for the two C tires. When I put the load D tires on, I "felt" a smoother ride from the trailer.
Now, I was also more confident in the tires and that may have affected my "feelings",
I'm towing with a Durango not a 2500, and I tow in the mountains, so I do feel the trailer behind me at least some of the time.
I also always check air pressure before and during the drive and make sure the tires are properly inflated.
So perhaps it has more to do with upgrading from load C to load D tires than because "chinabombs are squishy" or "good tires track better" or it's just that the OP has more confidence in the new tires and that has colored their perspective.
