Default Looking to get new tires

I have 245/75/16 Load range E now and was thinking about going up to 265 or 285 any ideas? I don't "off" road but I do go off road to cut fire wood so I do want some tread but not looking for big knobby tires. I haul wood in the truck so the tires have to handle the load. Highway rumble is no fun for me. Have to have at least load range E.. I did a search but did not find much info thanks..

Bob

BFG A/T's. Go for the 265's, unless you want to change the gears as well.

How much are you willing to spend on tires?

You should know that people always want the world but only want to spend a couple of bucks. You know, it's along the lines of, "HELP! My super lifted 4x4 truck with a 5.9L only gets 10mpg. How can I get better mpg?"

I don't want to spend $1000 but figure I need/can spend 600-800 to get a decent set of tires. This truck is only used on my days off and I only but about 4-5000k a year on her.
The tires I got now have great tread left they are getting dry rot so I need a new set.
VW dodge thanks for the info?
