I went with the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 275/55/R20 specifically because they have the 117H load rating (2833lbs per tire at 51psi). I pulled a 7000# boat 1000 miles with the tires at 44psi and they are fantastic. Fuel mileage is also up from high 17's to 20.8 over the factory Hankooks.

what psi would you recommended towing something in the 4000lb range. (factory recommened is 39 psi on a 22 inch wheel.) Thanks.
I tow a car hauler that's 5000lbs loaded with OEM 22" wheels and OEM Hankook tires set at the factory rated 39Psi. The tongue weight is set to ~600lbs. Smooth as silk to drive.
