Make sure you don't run them at 80PSI! 80PSI is for the smaller stock size 245/75 16.
I run 55F/60R. (see other thread on tire pressures)

It depends on your tire size and vehicle weight. The MAX is 80lbs at 3750 for the same size he as asking about (Ds are 65 @3305). Apparently some people have some pretty heavy vans, so ya never know.
And note you loose the "severe snow rating" with E's if you switch from Ds (the snowflake designation). I expect it's the compound, but not sure about that; I think it could also be tread depth. From what I've been able to gather both have the same "Triguard" sidewall polyester belts, but the Es have one or two more belts under the tread. I still prefer Ds, but YMMV. My van is 8600 lbs.
