My F 250 and tires?

My F 250 is not over loaded concerning tire capacity in the rear. The trucks come with the General Grabbers, which because of bad experience (blow out and ply separation) I will not run them on the back.

When i ordered the truck, by oversight or maybe being in the dark I got the stock rims which were 17". I am running Firestone Transforce and am fixing to go out on the third winter.

After a couple of scares with the generals, i am open to thoughts for putting more margin on the rear. maybe the Firestones are fine, i don't know. However the Firestones could be easily moved forward.

What about just having a set of 18" for towing?

i am just looking for nifty ideas that i may have overlooked.

BTW the fifth wheel scales out at plus or minus 200 at 10K.
