Couple of flaws in your computations, Gerald.  You're not going to find any
tires in the 40 or 50 series that have the load rating to do what you're
trying to accomplish. Get a 3.73:1 axle installed and run with LT235/70R16
tires. You'll have the best of all worlds for solo handling and towing
applications.
