Dual purpose tire
I plan on towing my TH to some remote areas. While nothing too hardcore, I need better tires, and am looking for a good dual purpose tire; i.e. one that can both tow a 12k fiver and get me to the campsite without bogging down. Also in consideration; this will be an occasional thing, as I commute 85% of the miles put on her, and usually tow to improved sites. We have some nasty and sudden storms here in NW FL, so good foul weather traction is a must. Not so much concerned about NVH as this is a 3500 4x4 with a Cummins, not an auto- leveling 1500 Longhorn.
I'm keeping the stocker wheels (17x8) and, with what I have planned, anything up to a 315/70 is acceptable; 10 ply only as I don't trust anything with less capacity (bad personal experiences.) Unless someone recommends the Toyo AT in a 35 I would prefer to stick with a metric size, mainly due to availability if the tire becomes un-repairable. I do not want an MT, but a more aggressive AT would suffice (I have 265/70 Revo 2 and do not like them; no traction when @ load rated PSI and no stability when PSI lowered for traction.)
Not to influence the discussion but I've heard good things about the Toyo AT, Nitto Terra, Destination AT and various Cooper's. I plan on running stock height for now, maybe leveling at some point.
Your experiences would be greatly appreciated.
