What is the best LT265/70R18 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT, 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 LT265/70R18 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.
