As much as I love the way the Kelly's look, I went ahead and ordered the Yokos today. I think they are going to be the all around best tire for me. I will make sure to keep everybody posted on how I like them!

The plot thickens... the Yokos are on backorder. So I said screw it and got the Kelly TSRs.

As long as your not loaded over the weight rating posted on the sidewall you'll have no problem with D rated tires. If someone had a blowout with an empty truck or towing a 2500 lb trailer, it had absolutley nothing to do with the fact that they had D rated tires, probably more likley that they didn't maintain thier air pressure, or hit road debris.
