Load Range D tire confusion

Im not into overbuying tires just because they can handle more weight. Going up a size on a single axel is ok but it can lead to more bounce. And dont forget when adding in for weight that the toung takes some of the TT weight off the tires. Both tires will never have the full weight of the TT on them. So the original tires you had selected were more then ok for the TT. Have fun.

True story, there's a limit to the practical benefits of "upgrading" components.
On the boat trailer, which doesn't really go off road and gets "treated" better, I run adequate, not significantly upgraded capacity.
On the sled trailer, I run heavier than needed. Thoughts are, it sits out in the elements year round, and generally gets more abuse when used. Worse roads, forest roads, hidden hazards under the snow, etc. Sometimes lightly loaded, sometimes trailer is stuffed full with 5 machines.
That said, D load vs C for only a couple bucks more is sort of a no brainer. If you don't need the capacity, you don't gotta run full rated tire pressure.
