If you can stomach doing business with Walmart… Goodyear Wrangler Authority in LT265/75r16E. Run them at 50psi for a full contact patch. 3 peak rated M55 style tread, wear like iron, grip like chains. I use them on both 1/2t srw and 1t drw trucks. Have 7 years on the current set, blew out an inner drive and had the 1/2t tires swapped to the dually rear axle. Don’t even need 4wd in sw TN snow/ice up to 6” deep. Still at 60% tread depth…
Looking for a 33-34” tire. 285/75-16 is 32.8” based on the math, but varies from tire to tire. 265/75 is 31.6ish. Just looked on Walmart’s website, no 285 unfortunately. Probably end up going to Les Schwab as they said they’d install a 285 on my rim width.
