That is what I bought for my truck: M608Z's in the 265 size. They were a whole whooping $20 (each) more than the 245's but had a very large safety load margin. I run mine at a whole whooping 90PSI in the rear. :)
On my 1997 Ford I recalibrated the speedo for the new tire size but on my 2017 Ford I just live with the 5-6MPH slow freeway reading. I'll use the GPS in my cell phone to know how fast I'm actually going. :)
If I were to do it again I'd go for a less agressive tread. The M608Z's are not quiet.
