This is true but you need at least D-rated tires to support the weight of the vehicle+passengers, so it's a slightly different version of the same tires. E-load tires can hold 65 lbs. of air and Ds are 45-50, IIRC so just airing down the 10-plys to 45 lbs. should accomplish the same thing. It sounds like he's tried that already.
