What 265/75R16 tires cost

Falken Wildpeak A/T4W
The value sweet spot: long mileage warranty, solid wet grip, sane price.

About the 265/75R16 size
31.6 in tall, sold both as P-metric and LT (load range C/E). A/T and rugged-terrain patterns dominate; the go-to upsize for 16-inch Tacomas and 4Runners.
The numbers mean: 265 mm section width, sidewall height 75 % of that width, and a 16-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 31.6 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

What is the best 265/75R16 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman All Country A/T is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 265/75R16 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
