Ram 2500 CTD tires (issues, and suggestions)

I just bought a 2012 Ram 2500 CTD and pulled my new Springdale 293rkssr 400 miles. The trailer actually pulled very good. My wife drove behind me and said the trailer did not sway. My issue is the truck came with Nitto trail grappler mud tire. The thread is way too flexible and the truck wanders all over the road, almost scary to a point. I need to swap out tires and though I would pick the minds of those here. Stock tires are an option but I would like an all terrain tread if there is one that suits pulling.

    I run two sets of wheels and tires also to avoid chaining up. Steering drift is a known issue on some of the solid front axle trucks though.
    I'd take it to a well known front end shop 1st to check the camber etc.
    Nitto's are nice for winter but they will burn out pretty fast in summer heat while towing.

    All terrain tires usually squirm when new and the only real advantage is on snow. If you don't intend to tow/drive on fresh snow, most any highway tire will work just fine.
