If you put these on your CTD...they are the wrong class tire and again sorry for
speed reading/answering in my first post on this thread
Spent a bit more time and found a better site with more information on this
specific tire

That size only comes in 'P' class. Okay for regular half tons but not
recommended for even the heavy half or HD half ton with 7 or 8 lug
wheels. That and higher class trucks require 'LT' class tires (the
next higher class)
No wonder our bigger truck had the tires roll over. The sidewalls of 'P' class
tires are just not designed for that class of truck. Most seemingly do NOT
notice, and congratulate you for noticing
'P' class tires must be DE-RATED a min of 9% when used on
trucks...the designation "P" stands for passenger car tire. "LT"
stands for light truck tire
But for a regular half ton (7K range GVWR) it would be okay and suggest looking

Do note that TireRack.com lists that Hanook DynaPro 265/60R18 as a 109T rating
A bit lower than the 110 you listed
Load range 109 is rated for 2271 lbs each tire at max PSI
Load range 110 is rated for 2337 lbs each tire at max PSI
Either load range should be okay for a regular half ton's rear GAWR, which
ranges from just under 4K lbs to just over 4K lbs
Recommended wheel rim width (bead to bead) for this tire is 7.5" to 9.5" and
suggest going with the 9.5". As wider rims stiffens the sidewall because it will
not have as much sidewall static bend back
Final note: make sure the wheels are rated for this tire's weight rating
