Is there a ride differrence in LR D and E tires?

I know we have some tire experts out there so maybe someone on the forum can answer my question.

CountryGuy and Dustytuu have both described dish breakage problems in their rear kitchen 3295RK. We (and others) have not had problems with this despite having the same models.

Now, most Montanas come with Load Range E tires, max pressure 80 psi. Ours came with Load Range D tires, max pressure 65 psi. I know it's obvious there is less pressure in my D's than in your E's but there's also a tire construction difference. So, at max pressure, would a D ride more softly than an E? Enough to make a difference for the dishes riding in the back?

In case anyone wonders, the D's on ours are rated to 6,000 lbs at 65psi and the axles are 6,000 each. Actual scaled weight on the rear axles (combined) is 11,060 (pinweight 3,300). So the D's meet the specs and measured weight.

Thanks.
