The question appears to be referring to load range (also known as ply rating) for trailer tires, where "D" is a rating of 8 plys and "R" typically refers to radial construction. The choice between D-rated and R-rated tires depends on your specific needs. D-rated tires are designed to handle heavier loads, but if you're looking for a smoother ride and longer tread life, R-rated (radial) tires may be a better choice.

Please note, it's always important to consult with a tire professional who can consider your specific trailer and load requirements.
