Burbman...I’d go down in width and go to a higher aspect ratio (Larger number, which is the percentage of section width) for your setup. A higher profile tire’s sidewall will help when you go to the beach and that sand those beaches are famous for.
Hey Ben good to hear from you! The issue with taller aspect ratio is overall diameter of the tire....if you look at the spec chart, a 295/70-18 is significantly taller than stock.
I was out on the beach one time this year in early November for a trial run. Missed most of the beach season due to camper reconstruction. I aired these big tires down to 20 psi (I was going to 15psi with the 265/75-16's on the Burb) and took this pic...I am a size 13, so my foot measures about a foot...

Much wider footprint than the burb tires. Also bear in mind that the burb with the TT attached was about 8600 lbs, this rig with the camper is about 11,600 lbs.
Can't wait to get out there again
