Tires

I'm right at my towing limits with my truck, and the sticking point is the tires. I don't want to add any weight, but I would like a little more margin in my tire capacity when I've worn them out. Currently have the stock 20" Michelins on it, load range E, 3750 lbs per tire. Any manufacturer put out a 275/65/20 tire with a higher load rating, or am I at the max that I'm going to find without changing wheels?

Pin weight is between 3000-3500, depending on current contents in the fiver. I understand the axle weight limit, I'm looking for a tire that provides a little more leeway on the weight and maybe a stiffer sidewall.
