SRW would just tow much better. More stable, better in snow, less maintainance, easier in the burger king drive thru, wife can drive it, cheaper tire costs, etc etc...SRW is the BEST! 
Oh, and forgot, more PSI per Sq Inch to the ground!!!

Then that's acceptable. As long as its not a regular style dually. I really don't know how that worked for so many years. The engineers at Ford, Chevy, and Dodge must have had their heads up their @$$es with the whole dually thing.
Now if you really want a bad @ss tow machine, lose the stock 275/70 SRW tires, and go with a 185/85. The narrow tire will provide much more psi per sq inch, and be super stable. Much better traction PER SQ Inch. I don't know why Funny cars and nascar run such wide tires, its all about the contact pressure!!! Im gonna try some 175/65's and see how my 60ft times improve.
