Need help selecting tires

I just purchased a 1998 3500 12V, and it needs tires. I have looked at tires at my local tire dealers and get a lot of recommendations.

I have narrowed it down to the following based on needs and price:

Mastercraft Courser R/D
Dunlap Rover A/T
Kelly Sufari CSR

All are 215/85/16 Load E and range between $733 to $794 for 6 tires, mounted, balanced, and taxed.

The main use of the truck is pulling a 22ft Car Hauler. With car and other things in the trailer it all comes to about 7000 lb. About 95% of the miles will be on the highway. The other will be just running around hauling stuff for projects.
