Dealer recommendations again? Check the sidewall. Ds should run at 65psi. Ds at 80psi? Stand back!

D's should run at 65psi, E's at 80. Read your sidewall.

We went to D's last year, 5K miles or so on them, no complaints. We ordered from eTrailer, did all three tires.

Tires.

Hmm, the Carlisles recommend 65 psi. Where did you get the 80 psi recommendation?

I just installed a set on our 171.  We will be leaving on Sunday for a week.  Not sure I will have much to report, but I think they are fine.  They are inflated to 80 lbs.  Do not use the pressure listed on the sticker on your Pod.  Safe Travels.

Has anyone tried running tires with a D load rating on their 'Pod? After my experience a month ago with two blowouts, I'm looking for any way to run as sturdy of a tire as possible. Discount Tire has Carlisle HD 205/75R14 tires with a D load rating and M speed rating, but they're a little pricey to buy without knowing if they'll work well.
