Personally I think your new trailer is going to be way to heavy for your current tow vehicle. It’s not what the truck can tow, it’s how much weight can it hold. At what point will the truck become overloaded and just how far overloaded are you going to comfortable? Adding features to help offset the overloading just compounds the overloaded condition.
If you have not signed the papers for the new trailer you still have leverage with the manufacturer about tire selection. Personally I think the wide tires you mentioned would be very bad for the trailer’s suspension system. It’s a question for the vehicle manufacturer. If you’re going to have a long term commitment to this new trailer you should consider a very minimum optional upgrade to some LRG, 16” tires. When maintained properly they will last longer than marginal tires and they have a higher (75 MPH) speed limit than your OE tires (65 MPH).

OOPS! Sorry, a double post. It's also in another section.
