You’d be fine with non E tires. The P tires these size ranges are not car tires. Comparing the two Cooper examples you listed, the AT3 AS is rated at 2800lbs at 50psi and the LTX is 3000lbs @ 80psi. Not a huge difference. The rear axle weight loaded even with your trailer is not going to be close to 5600lbs capacity of the AS tires. The LTX is 10lbs heavier than the AS and is much stiffer. What this is going to give you is a much harsher ride and higher NVH. Now, how noticeable is hard to say as every tire is different. What I can say is I have never liked the ride and feel of load range E tires on anything less than 3/4 ton truck. And I usually like a firmer ride, but heavier/stiffer tires is not same feel as spring/shock combinations. I find with the heavier/stiffer tires the suspension is more chattery over bumps because the shocks are not valved from the factory to carry the heavier weight of the load E tire. Now with all this, going with E tires won’t hurt anything, this is all just feel and is completely up to you. I’ve just dealt with a lot of customers that complain after installing load E tires on vehicles that didn’t come with them from factory. All depends on what you like and how your using your vehicle. If it’s a daily driver and almost never leaves paved or groomed roads then I wouldnt risk the sacrifice in ride quality personally. Now if it usually had a heavy trailer hooked to it and went off road then maybe I’d go with a heavier tire. Hope this helps.
