trapper189Heavy duty truck tire recommendation: see my last post
@a1abdj - I’m not bashing Toyos in general, just the Open Country HT that I had. They were like driving on marshmallows. I’ve thought about the M55, but they are $360 each for my size. What I’ve read about them makes me think they are more tire than I need for 95% paved roads and 5% gravel.

Smaller trucks get the M55, and the larger trucks M920. Both of these are rated for mud/snow/ice. I just replaced two of the steer tires on my personal truck (M920s) at over 60,000, and the suspension on this truck doesn't treat the steers well.
I live in a rural area, so not counting the work related driving this truck also got a few miles on gravel every day.
alabdj, I am assuming you are driving a rwd. I am not sure if you can only replace two tires on a 4wd anymore, can you?

Chris42My truck is a ‘95 Dodge Ram 2500. Cummins, 2WD. Manual trans.
Bought used in 2014, I put a set of Cooper tires on it, maybe 245 wide? Weren’t 265 I am sure. Ran 50psi in them most of the time. A bit heavier than “light truck tires”. Got 90k miles from them. Don’t know how, but I did.

doublesharpPictures aren't good but I put 10ply rated Pirelli Scorpion tires on my boat toter. Liked them very well but sold the boat and van before I used them much. Bought from Sam's.

All are 4x4. In my case the only issue with the tires being slightly different sizes occur when in four wheel drive. If I'm using it I'm in conditions with traction issues so it doesn't hurt anything. If you roll out of the mud and onto dry pavement you do feel it, and it's bad for the driveline.
The M920 is also technically a drive tire, but it can be used as a steer in 4x4 applications. The M55s which are the size you would be using are typical all position tires.

tomgunI’m running made in USA Nitto ridge grapplers load range E on a 06 ram 2500 cummins.
Great tires, quiet and smooth and a little more aggressive than the BFG all terrains that came on it when I bought the truck.
