Default Help me choose a tire for my TV

Towing a 2206 towlite at 3500lbs., using a WDH and brake controller (both truck and trailer sitting level). Towing with a 06 Toyota tacoma prerunner 4.0 liter V-6 with a gvwr of 6500lbs.
Tires I have now are michelin LTX m/s 2 with 40,000 miles with good tread. Looking to replace soon. Starting from a dead stop, tires brake loose from not enough traction. This would happien even on dry blacktop, but more often from the paint on the road or wet pavement. The michelin's have preformed very well other than towing with a heavier trailer. The tread pattern is quite small for a highway/mud&snow tire, could this be a factor?
What are you running? Should I look at dunlop or firestone?
