I purchased E rates tires, Terra Grappler 2. I went with the same size as factory. Took a hit on mileage and performance due to the weight plus the ride sucks. On the plus side, it does tow better. Think I'll be going back to XL tires when it's time.

I have the same tires, haven't towed with them, they feel spongy empty. I have towed with 20" Bridgestone Duellers and they handled extremely well. I ordered a set of BFG Advantage T/A Sport LT to replace the Duellers. They have a higher weight rating, so should be even better. Will see, the biggest thing is they have a winter rating, so hopefully they handle snow well.

The GY will be up for sale soon, with the 18" rims, and they will have about 6K highway on them.
