Choosing the Right Tires for Towing with a Kia Sorento SX

[tighttimes]

I'm a newbie and am doing research for rear tires for my 2018 Kia Sorrento SX 3.2 Lambda towing a Nu Camp tab 400 (3500lbs) . The tires that the tire shop put on last year were 235/55R19 105V that seemed to get hot last year and exceeded the 6 to 8 PSI range when hot.My research seemed to suggest to put on LT allseason, but Im confused about the load index which the OE was 101H . Whats on now is 105V. Also not sure if I need all my tires to be the same. Any source of info would help

No, you don't.

... but since it is AWD (all wheel drive) its best if the tires are all the same diameter, and the easiest way to insure that is for them to all be the same make and size. You don't want the front to rear differential to have to constantly compensate for different tire speeds.

I thought she was asking whether the trailer tires had to be the same size as her trailer. My bad!
