About the LT265/75R16 size
Load range E (10-ply, 3,415 lb) 3/4-ton size. Heavier and pricier than P-metric; look for A/T or commercial highway tread and check the 80 psi rating.
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 LT265/75R16 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 LT265/75R16 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.
