Answer 8

The extra reinforcement does cause the Load Range E tire #AM1HP56 to be a little more stiff, but since you are comparing 205/65-10 size tires there won't be enough of a difference in how stiff it is to cause the ride to be drastically different.…

Answer 10

I recommend swapping out the lower capacity tire with a replacement that has the same PSI rating as the 70 psi tire. For that we have the part #AM1HP54 which is a Load Range D and has a weight capacity of 1,330 lbs at 70 psi.
