I will second the Bridgestone Revo's. One of the best tires I have ever used. Have been through two sets so far. Both sets I got 60k out of them. Their traction was great. Costco can order them for you at least my local one did and the price was less than anyone else I could find and it included mounting and balancing and I think lifetime road hazard.

One thing to note about a larger "D" rated tire with the same or slightly higher weight capacity (over the stock "E" rated) is that you will have more sidewall flex and side-to-side movement, especially if you tow heavy. That is one nice thing about "E" rated tires... the sidewalls are much thicker than "D" rated. I don't really notice at all while towing (From my "E" rated stock tires compared to my "D" rated 315s) but I only tow about 6,000lbs. If you haul heavy then you'll notice for sure.
