Suggestions for tires??

I have a 2001 F-150 King ranch 4door 2wd. I drive only on the road. Every now and then I pull a 16ft Action Craft Flats boat currently for sale if interested pm me. I live in florida so need something with good wet traction.
The main concern is in the bed lies a massive stereo system. Roughly 10 sheets of mdf I believe 1 sheet weighs 25lbs

so say 400lbs for box
175 for subs
310 for batteries
75lbs in amps.
roughly 100-200lbs in wiring and fuse holders etc.

so say anywhere in the 1200-1500lb range more closer to the 1200lb range of items in the bed at all times. I need something that can last under that weight and still be a good everyday tire. 275/60/17 I believe is correct size.

What do you experts think.

Thanks

I've been searching for new tires lately, same size and have narrowed it down to: General Grabber HTS or Goodyear fortera Triple treads. I'm leaning towards the generals just because of price but the Goodyears are suppose to be the best in wet weather. I do all street driving so I didn't even look at a/t tires.
