LT265 x 75 R16 tires recommendation.
I have a 2000 F250 that currently has BFG Rugged Terrain tires on it. They probably have less than 8,000 miles on them but seem to have excessive cracking on the sidewalls where the tread cap attaches...

I had a set of Michelin LTX MS2's on my 2010 Chevrolet 2500HD, purchased from Discount Tire. they were around $1250 and had a 70,000 mile warranty. At 36,000 miles they were completely worn out. Tire wear was even all around and rotated regularly.
I went tire shopping for a new set, i was not going to pay Michelin prices for another set of tires with average mileage results. I researched truck tires and had decided to either try Coopers or Toyo's.
My first stop was Discount Tire to what they could do for since they all were at 3/32's with even wear all around and still had 34,000 miles left on the warranty. Salesman did some computing and came back and said he would let me have a new set of the Michelin LTX M/S Defenders for $556 and some change. I did not hesitate long before I said ok install them.
They have been downgraded, as I recall to a 36,000 mile warranty now. Asked the salesman what kind of wear I could expect out of these and he said about the same as your old Michelin's.
If it was not for the warranty, I was dead set never to buy a set of Michelin's for my truck ever again. However, I do like Michelin's on my cars.
