I just purchased a 2000 F150 with P235/70R 16SL tires. I do a lot of driving on gravel and rock roads, and want a light truck tire for durability. I would like BFG or Michelins, but can find only LT245/75R 16. Would the small increase in size cause any problems with speedometer, brakes, perforance, etc.? Any suggestions? I really am open to any quality tire.

 

I just replaced the tires on my '02 S'crew 2wd. I had 43,000 miles on the 255R70X16s. I went to Discount Tire and bought the Dominator Sport A/T 265R70X16s. They are made by Cooper and seem to be good, so far. Agressive tread pattern, but not loud on the road. They are supposed to be good for 50,000 miles, so far so good. Couldn't afford the BFGs.
