My OEM Wranglers are about shot, was initially going with Cooper AT3/4, but now I have a travel trailer, would like something good for towing.
Michelin? What say you?

What are you towing and how often are you towing it? Only pavement?
I have LT versions of the AT3 and they do great for the occasional towing I do. I run them at 40 for daily driving and then air up as appropriate for what I'm towing (or down if im going to be off pavement for a while)

Michelin XPS rib. It's a commercial over the road steel body tire in light truck sizes.

1 or 2 times a month, 5700 lb. travel trailer 90% pavement-dirt roads to campsite and boat dock when towing boat. GMC Canyon.
Currently have wrangler fortitude HT 265/60/18 which are LT tires, not too concerned with Load Rating( Lots of peeps say go Load Range E), I find the ride stiff already, seems like E range would be horribly rough. Although I read the stiffer sidewall will reduce sway.

If you're only towing that much, I wouldn't look for tires designed for towing. They're gonna have a much more rough ride that regular tires, and will be heavier. With that little amount of weight, you can stick with a D-rated tire
