255/80R17 BFG M/T KM2's for towing??
Looking at getting some new tires and I really like the BFG mud terrain KM2's. I'm liking the 255/80R17 tire size (33x10.5x17 Load range E) and want to see what everyone thinks for towing. Load is my 30' TT (7200GVWR usually weighs in around 6200lbs) I tow roughly once a month some short trips, some longer taking the family camping. Everything else is a mixture of highway, city, off-road. Will these handle the trailer alright? How about going to a 33" tire with 3.73 rear gears, will that put me out of my powerband? Will there be too much sidewall flex? I have the stock 265/70R17 right now, but need some new tires. Thanks!!
