What I was gonna say.
I like Pit Bull..
Pit Bull now has radial offerings in "medium sized tires" e.g. up to 41". ANd reasonably priced.
Having said that, the Good Years are probably gonna be it for me.
Lets talk tires. Big ones.

Friend of mine in Utah built his tow rig, with Rockwells, 46" Michelins... all said and done, economy was similar to stock.
Never had an issue with "weak" regarding strength of Drivetrain.

The only thing i am afraid of with the Military michy is the weight. I'm not running rockwells, stock 60 and sterling rear.
I think i am gonna run the 42" goodyears.

I ran my old swamper thornbirds about 35k on mostly highway, no issues.
My NEW swampers thornbirds only went about 8k and were almost bald

But you have to admit, that is NOT your typical tow rig

Never ran swampers on the highway before, but every swamper i've ever been on has been on mud trucks and they are all bias ply. my 37 good year wranglers are horrid on the highway, they shake the truck apart. My 35" imported mud terrains ride like a all terrain on the highway. smooth quiet ride. they also have about 20K on them and have over half the tread left. Problem is i can't find this same tire bigger than a 315.

See now I had complete opposite results w my 37" goodyears. That was the ONLY saving grace of those tires. Good road manners. That and they were quiet. But off the pavement they ABSOLUTLY SUCKED

I like my xmls just need to get them balanced. At 65 it rolls down the highway smoother than nu goodyears did.
When I have them aired up to 70psi they ride a bit rough around town but nicely one the highway
smoother. I usually leave them at 35-40 psi though. They don't pack with bid, track straight and last forever.
But I will say that they are a lot of rubber for a 16 inch rim lol.

i run 38.5x12.50x16.5 swamper tsl sx's on my 91 idi. they do great on and offroad ,even in the 20" snow storm this winter i had no trouble going places where i shouldn't have been. i have hauled my 30 ft gooseneck with 10k out of state with no issues. i would recomend these tires to anyone . and they're load range "E" tires . you really get the best of both worlds with these tires.

What you need to look at is max load. You will see a lot of variance between the lettered load indicators. Pro-comp xat's are a great tire. We had a set on a 02 chevy 2500 and still had a good bit of tread after about 40,000 when we sold the truck. 37's on 17's max load is 3525 but only rated D. I considered the wrangler MT's but everyone on pirate seemed to hate them, the price was good, but never did it.
