That was my suggestion based on previous experiences of excessive shifting when towing my loaded 7x16 utility trailer up long hills traveling back and forth from Virginia to Georgia. The trailer and the payload was comparable to the TT I'm looking at... It was my thought that since we have plenty of places we would like to see in GA, SC, FL, and TX we could visit all of these places first and then venture out west once we purchase a new truck with greater towing capacity.
I would think that a tire with "truck" rating and stiffer sidewall would be better suited to heavier loads than a tire with a "passenger" rating...but I'm no expert... I'm just seeking advice....
