You truck tire 'problem' is the same as mine......17" rims therefore 3195# MAX Load Rating on those LT 'E' tires.
So what is your trucks RAWR?
Your truck has a 10000# GVWR with a MAX TOW rating of 12,200#
Your 'E' 3195# tires are adequate weight capacity
My rear tires are loaded to max rating and I use 80psi
Towed FT traveling weekly and never had a truck tire issue (Michelin AT/2)
What brand of tire?
What PSI do you use towing?
Have you ever weighed truck/trailer combo?
Do you know how much weight on truck rear tires?
This is exactly why I didn't do the 17" upgrade to my 2001 Ram the 265/75-16 E have a 3,415# load rating, the 265/70-17E have a 3,195# load rating, why give up 440# of extra capacity per axle! :S
