tires
Territory AT.
Since I’ve gotten 90k in the conditions I drive, am I really going to see any better performance than that? I live in Ohio so I see snow and have been happy with them in winter. And they’re not a loud tire. What will another brand tire offer?

I'm always looking at, and buying, different brands and model of tires, hoping the next set will be the optimum for me. I think I found two, Falken AT3W/AT4W, and Toyo ATIII. Likely not the type of tire you'd like, I highly doubt I'll even get close to the service life you did.

Load Index for the OE tires is likely 116, which is 2756 lbs. A load range C tire will actually hold 220lbs LESS than that load index 116 SL "passenger car" tire. A load range E would support 3415lbs at 80psi, but will be heavier and ride far worse.
Do you have LT's? They were an option, and I had them on my 2016. I got about 70k on my E range LT's, towing a lawn trailer/zero-turn 80% of the time. When I replaced them, they put non-LT/load range C tire, and only got 29k out of them, towing murdered those tires. I thought the LT's rode just as well as my C rated tires. They also lasted longer than the Michelin LTX's I had on my 2010 prior.
Max weight rating should be stamped on the sidewall of the tire. I forget the exact rating for my current Wrangler AT Adventure (OEM equivalent) tires, but I know it's a good bit more than the rear axle rating. So no chance of overloading them unless the truck is seriously overloaded. I do air them up near the max 50 psi when I tow. They handle well when towing, are smooth and quiet on the highway, and provide decent traction in snow and mud. I've seen no reason to go to a LT tire or a more aggressive AT tire.
