Yeah, I'm mostly On-Road with my Tremor. Totally opposite of what most get those trucks for. I pull our 5th wheel with it and it's done well. There just aren't many On-Road tires for that size. If I had 20" tires, the Michelin Defender Platinums would be near the top of my list. Not aggressive at all, but it fits what I need pretty well.

The Tremor wheel for sure. Not only does it look better but I’d prefer a 18” wheel over a 20” wheel for more sidewall. Even for towing.

18's for sure. 20's ride harsh.
On road tire selection? Haha, dont need it. Any junk tire will work fine, if it can handle the loads. Goodyear and Firestone have that covered.
I recommend the Kenda AT2, Cooper RT, Kenda RT, or Toyo RT Pro for onroad SRW's with snow use. These are all likely more offroadish than you want. But thats all I recommend.
The Firestone Transforce AT is available in E and 265/70r18. Thats about as onroad as it gets. And the Transforce tires that Ive had, are as solid as a rock for towing. Good choice for top heavy Sprinter vans, due to the hardness of those tires under load.
