Tire Experts?
I just switched from Carlisle ST 225/75R15C with a 50 PSI max to Maxxis ST 225/75R15D 65 PSI max. What PSI would you run these load D tires at. MY GVWR is 9015lbs.

Not a tire expert but I am an experienced ST tire consumer. The risk of a wheel failure from running over max is far exceeded by the risk of a tire failure running at max load. You have taken an acceptable risk IMO. Run the tires at max psi.
I think this may have been worded such that the meaning got confused.
I think Gypsy meant that the risk of a wheel failure is pretty low, while the risk of a tire failure is much higher, so do what you need to deal with the tire, and don't worry about the wheel.
