Everyone in my country runs mostly AT in front and HT with high load index on the back for some reason it's like a rule here, we transport big loads in every type of terrain, there is muddy roads and hills, highway , city drving with lots of pothholes, the truck has to be able carrry big loads in any condition..
what are your recommendations?
I was thinking buying 265/70/17 AT front and HT back
High quality appropriately load rated all-terrain tires on all four corners. Preferably all-season or with the little snow symbol if you tow in that. Or another dedicated set of snows.
I stopped buying HT tires after my first set of AT tires with the chunky blocks in the middle of the tire set up to have great big gutters instead of overlapping blocks. They just plain worked better in torrential rain than HT tires. More space for the water with the deeper AT tread.
I run the same tire brand type and size on all axles. The only time size is different is if it’s a factory staggered size (and that’s typically a sports car) I like AT tires. Highway treads imo are great for a freeway runner. mud Terrain while looking aggressive are noisy, they suck at braking p, traction and handling for most road conditions and have horribly short tread life. They are also very expensive.
I have no idea why you would run AT on front and HT on rear.
The logic behind AT front and HT rear, is because AT people here say they give better tracking on rain days and HT behind can handle more load, I dont know how true is that. Normally here we load trucks over design capacity.

Street/highway Tim how tread will alway be better due to the tread design. More siping and more water channels.
As far as load capacity i fail to see how two tires both with the same capacity rating, one of them would be “better” suited because of the tread design.
it may have better traction due to the tread and that may be applied as to it being “better” category but two tires with the same carry capacity aren’t gonna be better in that comparison because of tread pattern.
i run the same brand model and tread pattern on all corners.
Get some Toyo M55's, some of the best tires I have ever run on my work truck, great for weight, good off road capabilities, and last, the only down side is price and they humm on the highway not like an MT but audible if you don't have the radio on, the side wall is close to an Inch thick.

Actually it's not that bad, well I did have a truck always loaded to it's max capacity so ride quality was good lol. Im sure empty its a whole different animal. But for the OP these tires fits the bill.
I've also ran Bridgestone Duravis r250's and those things wore like iron, not good on wet roads or sand but handled the weight nicely.

Not a exact comparison but i had a buddy who put those custom 19.5 inch wheels on his F350 and holy crap that ride was horrendous. The tires were rock hard as far as tread and sidewall flex was well just not there. I assume Fred Flintstones car ride about that same way.
