Tire recommendations

Looking for recommendations on a good quite tire. 265/75/16. I prefer highway tread for the noise since most of my driving is highway. Would prefer raised white letter.

Check out the FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T3W

Here’s the thread I started on them. They are quiet, have great traction and carry a heavy load extremely well.

That's a heck of a deal you got! Looks like they've gone up quite a bit now.

Nitto Dura Grappler is their Highway Terrain tire and I have found mine to be the quietest truck tire that I have ever used, no raised white letters but they do have two different sidewall designs to choose from when you mount them.

Costco has the Bridgestone - DUELER H/T 685 on sale currently, seems to fit your needs. Another great option is the Cooper Discoverer HT3 but it is a black wall tire, however I am a fan of Cooper tires because they are great tires and the one of the last American tire manufactures, Russ
