I used to be a Michelin guy. However a bad experience made me switch. I am now running Yokohama's and I'm very happy with them.

Are you asking about the towing vehicle that would be either the coach or truck pulling the TT or 5er, the tow dolly, the full size trailer, or the four wheeler being towed four down??
Multiple hundreds of threads about the coach tires, I haven't seen much about tow dolly tires, and many of those pulling TT or 5ers change early to get the "China bomb" tires replaced. My Demco dolly came with Carlisle tires which are a good brand. Any reputable brand in the proper size and load rating for anything being towed should be fine as long as the tires are properly inflated and maintained.

Truck pulling a TT or 5th wheel.
Using just any old tire brand in flatted correctly doesn’t get it.
I’ve had Michelins and Goodyear, sometimes they hold up and wear right and sometimes not.
I looking for a tire that holds up to mileage they say it will.

How about sticking with the OEM tire brand that came on the vehicle when new? That is what the vehicle suspension was designed to use and tested with. I have also had good luck with Michelin tires and getting 70k miles out of them. But watch out on age because at 6 and 6 1/2 years old had 2 blow out.

I got rid of the OEM tires within 6 mos....replaced with Michelin A/T2
60k miles later new set of Michelin A/T2
Not because tires were worn put.....still had decent/wear bars not fully showing just time for new tires cause I HATE having flats. I'm real anal about tires
60K miles later new set of tires........went with Cooper Discoverer AT3
OK tire...not a Michelin but I am not towing FT so they are adequate
In cold weather they take long time to warm up and not feel like they are 'square'
After warm ---OK
Probably go back to Michelin when its time again for new tires
I run 55psi front all the time
I run 80 psi rears when towing and 45 psi when NOT towing
