still only load range D

That is an improvement though, load range D is 8PR, and the ones shipped on TM is usually 6PR, load range C.

Load range D will max out the rim capacity anyhow, so going to a LR E will not be of much benefit. The best rims that I can find for 15" 5/4.5 has a rating of 2600# and the LR of an D tire is 2540# and E exceeds this at 2830#. Bottom line is with the current axle and the 5 lug 4.5 pattern, load range D is the max that can "safely" be used IMHO.
