I'm just curious - what made you decide to go with LRD 195s instead of, say, LRC 205s? The ST205 in LRC is 200 pounds more carrying capacity than the stock ST185 LRD tire.

I'm a dissenter, but I would go to 14-inch wheels if they'll fit. Sure, you can find 13-inch load range D tires online easily enough, but I don't know of any tire shops that carry them. Camping...
