The low profile sidewall is definately not the tire of choice for towing. The reason is that you don't have much room between the pavement and the rim. Follow me?
I think you'll probably be fine with them, but they will probably wear out faster than a 65 or 75 series tire. You have a 50 series and they are normally found on sports cars for better handling.

I agree. Those tires will be fine its just that you have a little less sidewall so you'll feel the road a little more and take bumps a little harder but other than that you're fine. 4100lbs is not a huge load anyways.
