I'm still mulling things over. I have until Friday to make a decision (when the sale ends).

You don't have to air them up to e rating, which then will not require the rims. Air them up somewhere north of what the GY chart list for PSI to Tire Load.
The way I look at it; is an E Rated tire has structure equal to 4 more ply's then a C rated tire. Much tougher. When I pickup the NTU camper, I'm planning to install the 225x75x15 endurance tires, but will air up to about 56 PSI. I like to go up to 10 extra PSI than what the GY chart has listed. This give me the plus 10 PSI that GY call for in the service bulletin for traveling over 65 MPH. These tires at that PSI will give me a softer ride, but are much stronger tire.
