Yes, those are the D's. I've had these TOYO's on the 93 before and got over 60,000 on them. Of course, I don't tow much but that just means they should last longer. I'm guessing that these are the premier tire in their line as these are the ones Les Schwab (a large tire dealer here in the west) "suggests" right off the bat. I tried em once and on my "commuter rigs" I doubt I could find better and now ask for them by name. Hopefully, I can find them when I need them and they're ON SALE!! 
On this 2wd rig, if they ain't QUIET they won't be on my truck!!

That's what I mean.....IF I can hear that over the "normal" sounds of my truck, it (the tire noise) is too loud. On a 4wd where you're occasionally off road, well sure. Who cares about tire noise then? Before these TOYO's this truck came with BFG All Terrain TA's and those tires (on my truck) were TERRIBLE for noise. I couldn't wait to get rid of them.
On a 2wd commuter special I wanna hear anything but tire noise. But that's just me and one of my few quirks.

I'm wanting to upgrade to 285/75/16's.. but I'm really wanting an E rated tire. What's out there for E's.. BFG's.. what else... I've been running the Michelin 265 LTX's since the truck was new.. (200K) Great tires.. lots of mileage from them.. no problems.. just wanting something bigger..
The other question.. some of the weight ratings for the D tires in the 285's are within 2-300lbs off the 265E.. Usually a big difference in the max air pressure.. Just not so sure about dropping to a D rating.
Or should I just go to a 305/70... (What about that tire on a stock Al rim??)
Just looking for a little more tire.. with a little more aggressive tread.. and something that going to last.. (I've been spoiled with my Michelins..)
Thanks, for any help.. and pic with 305's on stock rims??
Thanks guys,
Bryan

Go with the Toyo M55
wears like iron (expensive as can be too) but well worth it.. Biggest ive found them at tho is 285...
I ran wally world liberators for a while, and they held up well, but the sponge like ride, and towing worries really convinced me that i should cough up more for a solid 10 ply tire...
