i'm not a tire expert.

i thought the D vs E was a sidewall flexibility thing as well as air pressure.?
on my work truck a half ton, they once put on E-rated tires. it was like a boxing match, targeting my kidneys when i pulled out. i rolled back in..and they said "opps" and swapped them out. way better. i'm not sure what they replaced with. maybe D.?

just a thought.
