F250 tire brand/model recs

I am going to get 4 new all season tires for my 2012 F250, 8', extended cab, 2WD when the snow goes away. I have studded snow tires for the winter, which I love. Anyway, I have 245/75R 17E, and would be interested in any recommendations and experiences with the various brands. I have been getting Cooper's for awhile, for no particular reason outside of my dealer having them. I am not concerned about saving a buck on getting a less expensive brand, but on getting the best overall tire for a 3000 lb. camper carrying truck. Thanks for any help.

    You might think about steeping up a size to get a better load rating than the current 3,195# of the current tire. With your 3,000#+/- camper and passengers you are likely right at or slightly over your rear tire capacity.
