[VAC] Tire & Tire Pressure Questions



I have a couple of questions regarding tires and tire pressure:

First, I have a 1977 31' Sovereign with dual axles. The tires on it are 
7.00x15 Load Range D. The brand is "DEL-NAT HIWAY" (I suspect the cheapest 
the previous owner could find :-).

My owners manual says that Load Range D tires are "Not recommended by tire 
manufacturer" for my model of trailer. The only model they are recommended 
for are 21 and 23 foot single axle units.

Do I have a problem here? Are Load Range D tires Ok for my unit? The tires 
are in almost new condition, and I would hate to have to spring for four 
new ones.

My second question is in regard to "cold pressure". It is rather cold here 
at the moment, around 35 degrees. Should I perhaps have the pressure a bit 
lower than recommended, or is 35 degrees not too cold to worry about?

Dave
