Camper rocking [not while parked]

Titanium RV's

I have a 2001 2500 quad cab 4x4,last year I repalced my original LT265/75/16E Michelin LTX A/S with 23000 miles with Cooper ST LT265/75R16E. I have a 32' Sportsman travel trailer. The first time I towed with the new all terain tires I thought may be my last time towing anything I got alot of sway on the highway and when a truck went by I held on for dear life. I talked to tire dealer and he never heard of any towing problems talked to camper dealer who explained to me it was the tire tread "squirming". I posted on RV sites as well as hear and got same reply as camper dealer. I installed reese dual cam sway control this year and the sway improved. The cooper tires have not worn well. With 13000 miles on them and being rotated 2 are less than half tread and the other 2 are better than half. Along with towing the camper I tow a 18' utility trailer with a Long Landtrac 410dtc tractor wiht loader about 70 miles once a week. I am looking at B F Goodrich commercial TA all season LT 265's load E The tread is similar to the michelins the are about 50 dollars cheaper than the michelen and have a 50,000 milage warrenty has anyone used these before for towing and did the hold up well. With the 8' bed I didn't get any better traction in the snow and mud with the ats than with the all season So I want a good tire to tow with. This got a LIttle long thanks in advance!
