Default Tire recommendations?

So up until now I have always basically just bought what the local tire center suggested. I now realize that some tires are trash. However I buy new tires so seldom that it's not like I have brand or model preferences.

So for a 2000 b1500 5.2l 3.55 with 235/75R15/XL, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm doing a lot more towing these days if that matters.

Thanks.

Where do you live, and what kind of weather conditions do you drive in? Bad roads??

Western Oregon, normal roads, weather at worst is Oregon rain. Just looking for all weather. I won't ever be on snow or ice. No off pavement stuff besides a gravel driveway here or there.

Then just some normal street tires, brand of your choice, but, NOT the "High Mileage" fellers. They are essentially made of plastic, and SUCK on wet roads. (and even worse with snow....) Maybe bump a load range higher than stock, since you tow a lot.

Best tires I have ever owned for my van...

I also tow my travel trailer which has 700# of tongue weight.

These are three sizes too big but the speedo is only 1.5MPH off...they are also rated capacity is 2500/lbs tire
