If it was my rig I would look at LT 265/75R16 load range E first .
3415# rating on an LT gradient . 50 + choices .
You can get the dimensions from tire rack under the specifications tables .
If a 265 does not fit my next choice would be an LT 245/75R16E .
3042 #rating on an LT gradient. 60+ choices .
This will require some measuring for width clearance and height clearance in your wheel wells .
I did some trimming .
the tire rack site is your friend .
learn to use the specifications pages for each tire and get the actual width , diameter , tire weight , load rating in pounds , and compare the tire rack special prices after rebate for each brand and model .
I run Michelins and Continentals but General Grabber highway tread are a bargain in the LT 265 and LT 245 /75 x 16 sizes .
Bridgestone Duravis R500 is a very tough tire also .
Any LT will be better than an ST for failure prevention .
