Max tire pressure is 44PSI which I already air up to when I'm hitched up and the lb rating is 2601

Those P tires at max loads can exhibit sever carcass roll especially with a bumper pull trailer back there.
Also a P tire load capacity on a truck is required by fed regs to be derated by dividing its capacity by 1.1......so if those P tires have a 2400 lb load rating is now 2181 lbs.

A load range D/E will stiffen the tires carcass which eliminates carcass roll. Carcass roll...... is like towing with a half flat tire.

The ibs rating on the sidewall is already derated from the manufacturer. You dont take the lb rating off the side wall and subtract a # from it..

What the? That's not what Jimnlin said at all. Read his post again.

And if I meant to flame you at any point, it would be a lot more obvious and in your face than "cool your jets". Know that.

But I will say it again! Cool your jets man! Your mostly on the right page, but you're also off your rocker at times!
