The normal "P" (passenger) rated tires are not usually rated to tow such heavy loads which might have caused some of your towing akwardness. You could always step up to an "LT" 6ply tire or a XL (extra load) "P" rated tire. With the XL tire you don't give up so much of your ride quality as you would with the heavier duty LT tire. In a lot of cases the XL tire can even handle more weight than the LT.
