TIres, looking for long wearing, all weather load range E

What is anyone using for tires. It seems that I go through tires at about 25k. I keep vehicle aligned and tires rotated regularly, air at 80 PSI on rear tires. Trailer weight is 14k. No irregular tire wear. 80% highway driving, 20% highway towing. I just don't seem to get good tire wear. Any ideas?

Run Michelin on our truck. Get great mileage out of them.

Towing is very hard on any rear tire. I've run Michelin and Bridgstones and get decent wear by running the PSI listed on the door jam - 65 psi on my current dually. Running the full 80 psi can be as harmful to tire wear as having too little pressure.
