DOWNTHEROAD,
It has been recommended to me that the E's have a tougher carcass & for about $10.00 per tire over the cost of D's I thought that might be a good idea, especially, travelling the roads of Alaska for the summer. I do drive on forest dirt roads in eastern AZ. quite a bit & like the idea of a tough carcass.
My wheels do allow for a maximum of 75 LBS. tire pressure as marked on the wheel next to the fill valve.
I was seriously thinking of the Maxxis M8008's which, I had also heard were very good tires. However, there is a thread on this site of Maxxis failures, which, scares me a bit.

Joe,
Since your wheels will handle them, go with the E's. (that's what I did.) It will give you excellent reserve.
I may be looking at the wrong thread, but the Maxxis thread was about a guy who's tires failed....but they were 7-8 years old. He said he got great service from them and was going to replace them with another set of Maxxis..
Have a great trip and adventure on your Alaska run.
