An All Season tire is not necessary for a trailer. I have pulled our heavy fifth wheel with rib tires in the snow and ice with out issue. I have Roadmaster RM170 made by Cooper Tire on our rig
I agree...John, IMO, you are over thinking this summer/winter tire thing. I have towed my 7-23 26' actual length enclosed snowmobile trailer on glare ice, passing the truckers going 35 mph in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, using truck 4WD. I sometimes towed on roads with deep snow, up to 1', with GY Marathons, without issue. Trailer towed great, but for trailer brakes, there were times, downhill in mountains, that chains on one axle would have been nice.
I would just go with one of the proven Summer tires you mentioned.
