Cougar High Country Tires

[LakeEffect]

I have a 2011 High Country 291rls. It came with ST 225 75 R15 "D" tires, rated at 65psi.
I called my local tire shop and they stock Carlisle Radial Trail RH in that size but in the "E" 80psi rating. I Have the stock 6 bolt aluminum Keystone rims. The guy at the shop said they would be fine. Have any of you Keystone owners upgraded to the "E" tires?
They can order the "D" but I would like the upgraded tire if the rims can handle it.
Sorry to start another tire thread!

I've been running the "E" Carlisles on my Keystone rims for the last six months. No problems encountered yet. I'm keeping a good eye on the tires and they appear to be holding up well.

My last fiver had 15" wheels and came with LRD junk tires. I upgraded mine to LRE 15" 22575R15 Maxxis. I The heavier tire made a large improvement in handling and road mannerism. They are a far superior tire than most any Chinese brand xxxxxxxx that comes on most of today's trailers.
I can't speak on the Carlisle Es but research I have done points to Maxxis being a better tire.

My Komfort came with D tires and Al rims, but the rims =are= rated for 80 psi, so I put E rated tires on as soon as I had to change. Even if you only have 65 psi rims, check into getting Maxxis tires. I'm running those E rated Carlisles, but I'm watching them like a hawk. The Maxxis would be a better choice. Your rims might have to be broken down to be sure they're 80 psi rated as some are stamped in the valley between the rims and not externally. Fortunately, mine are stamped on the outside.
