Jim Phoenix was using a Jeep Liberty to tow his Nimbus 3 for a while and
reported that it did well. You could query him to get his full experience
with it.
I'm using H rated Contis on my Benz and find them fully the equal of the
many previous sets of Michelins. Car is also equipped with optional but not
publicized factory trailer towing springs and custom receiver hitch.
Supposedly H raters have a stiffer sidewall and somewhat softer tread
compound. You can really feel a difference in handling and ride. I'm using a
good grade of "trailer" tires on both my trailers which weigh between 2100
and 2500 lbs. gross. Both are good to 85 on the highway and no problem.
Personal opinion is that tow vehicle mass and tongue weight are the key
elements after good tires. I have a freind who occasionally tows his open
class trailer with and older VW Rabbit diesel. He doesn't worry much about
high speed oscillation. There was an article a year or so ago in Soaring
about an accident that occurred because the tow vehicle was too light and if
I remember was not loaded correctly.
Cheers!
