With all the driving and towing I do (and have done), there's a very short list of tires that I personally had a great experience with.

I tend to stay with M+S type tires as there are wide a variety of surfaces I encounter.

What I found is:

Coopers are great and wear like iron but wet performance drops off considerably as tire wear approaches the wear bars.

Generals are similar to the Coopers, IMO.

I just replaced a set of Kumho AT51's that went 67,000 miles (amazingly) but I had to rotate them constantly in order to get there.

Currently on a set of Falken Wildpeak AT and they are pretty good so far. I thought the tread pattern would result in much more road noise but if there is a difference, it's been imperceptible so far.

All tires that I mention have either been LT or Load Range E and all have been M+S tires.

Good luck on your search!
