So, I've done the lift kit deal and am getting ready to get some new 15's for the TM. I see a number of folks moving to Load Range E's and I'm wondering if this is a good idea. At first glance this seems cool (more plys on the sidewall etc.) but looking further, I'm not so sure. E's look to be 80 psi tires which will probably make the TM bounce quite a bit so then the thought is to deflate and thus derate the tire.

I went to the Michelin web site suggested by wmtire (which has evaporated on me) and they are saying that a tire that is has less than 20% of the suggested inflation pressure is defined as flat. So, using that logic, if you run a E rated tire at 65 lbs, you are 1 lb away from "flat". Too close a margin in my book.
I don't know how a TM with D tires on it will ride at 65 lbs. but even at 60 lbs I'm thinking it should be OK.
What are your thoughts??
