New tires for truck - Suggestions

Wrong. There is an inch difference in diameter between those tires.

The correct size for the 16 inch tire to get the same diameter is:
265 70 16 30.60629921

Where
A1 is the tread width (265)
B1 is the profile ratio (70)
C1 is the rim diameter (16):

(A1/25.4)*(B1/100)*2+C1

Yup....typing too fast..

I've got a year on a set of BF Goodrich T/A Sport LT tires and find them to be a decent all weather tire.

I am on my 4th set of KO2's. I have run them exclusively for 10 or so years now. Every set I have owned has given me 100,000 km plus of use with zero issues with quality or performance. The only problem with these is the road noise gets loud around the 85-90,000km mark. To be honest I only ever swap the tires because the noise gets annoying. Real good snow and ice performance, as well as off roading (not mudding but backroads and moose camp use)

The Goodyears are decent as I have a friend that has them and likes them but I have boycotted Goodyear for personal reasons due to their anti #bluelivesmatter stance. I was not impressed with their politicizing of issues and reprimanding employees for having an opposing view.

I've been on bush roads all my life, driving all 4 seasons both on the job and recreationally. Probably have driven on just about every brand of tire made. But I got onto the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 18" a number of years back and they are just about the best tire I could ever find to suit my kind of driving. Lots of height and lots of traction. I even took my Silverado to Texas a few times on those tires and was more than satisfied with how quiet they were. I'm sure there's better somewhere out there but I've yet to find them.

I put Toyo Open Country ATII 8 ply rated on my 2012 GMC 2 years after purchase and when traded in 2018 they still looked almost new. Mostly highway driving, some back country, approx. 25k/yr. I put the same but 6 ply rated on my 2018 F150 Super cab. Now have over 55k on them and still look new tread wise. I don't do as much trailering as I used to.

I wouldn't go without a totally dedicated set of winter tires. I've never found any "all season" tire that is as good as a proper snow tire. The big difference I notice is stopping distance in below minus 10 weather on snow packed or icy roads, and better grip when accelerating away from a stop/intersection. Steel rims are only about $50 a pop for my Tundra. ABS hardly ever comes on when I'm running snows. For all season tires, the best I've run on my Toyotas are Coopers. Worst were Hercules.

Fenelon, you sound just like my old man. He runs winter tires and rims on his Tundra. I have a Tundra also but I run “ all seasons” year round. Hankooks. He said the same the about the ABS rarely comes on. You older guys are wiser ...I guess

Duratrac tires are great and grip far better than most but they get noisy as hell when the are half worn.

BF's never held up on my 2500 Chevy but I've got them on my new F150 and am loving them.

Ran Falken Wildpeak tires on the chev and they were great in snow, lasted long, rode well and were quite inexpensive. The only downside to the wild peak AT3 was the mud performance was pretty crap compared to some others.
