I have used the LTX M/S version of tires on my last 3 tow vehicles.
Very satisfied, but pricey.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

PS- first full size (1500) truck had a 3.42 rear end. Got great gas mileage, but I actually had to trade up to a 2500 to pull the trailer i bought to replace the popup.

Now that I'm pulling a 9900 lb 5er, I definitely want the best tires I can afford.

Thankfully Chevy made the 2014 2500's to have a 6 speed AT and a 4.rear end, which helps.
