I was wondering if there are any recommendations for a similar alternative.

If I have to spend that much per tire, then I will.

They were always a perfect tire.

They completely outperformed Nitto and Toyo regarding drivability, and this was my first set of coopers.

However, if there are any suggestions for a possible alternative brand that performs similarly, I would be open to hearing about them.
I'm curious as to which Nittos you were running.

I run Cooper tires on my off-road rig and love them can't get away from the dependability Nitto has always given me on my tow rigs.

I tried the Wildpeaks for 3k miles on my dually and yanked them off as soon as I got home.

The sidewalls flexed too much for the weights I towed, and it wasn't fun.

I returned with the Ridge Grapple, and all was right in the world.

This time on my 2500, I went with the Recon Grapples only have about 100 miles on them, so the jury is still out, but they feel very stable, like the Ridge.

I'm not turning this into a fanboy thread; I'm a tire geek, so I'd love to hear what you didn't like about the Toyos and Nittos.

I almost did the Toyos; this time can't seem to get away from the Nittos.

I like them that much.
