265/70R16 BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain

Hey guys just wondering if 265/70/R16 Rugged Terrains or General Grabber AT2 would fit my truck. I've see all the tire size charts and for this size there is a "?" under spacers. Does anyone have these tires or know that these specific tires fits without spacers? Also how do these tires compare on-road, offroad, noise, ride, ect. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I do most of my driving on roads so i would like any input on how these tires compare on the road. Im sure either of these tires will have plenty of off-road capabilty for me. Also, suggestions of any other tires are appriciated. Thanks

you'll get a lot of support for General Grabber AT2.
I'm running a Toyo Open Country AT2 and they have worked great for me in mud hunting/fishing and are pretty quiet on the road as well. We've also run a few muddy logging roads and they performed flawlessly.
I was planning on going with the Grabber myself but my local dealer could get the Toyo's a good bit cheaper and they have something like a 50k mile Treadwear rating.

Grabbers Hands down for on and off road. With my set up I average 17mpg on road.

That size is right at 30.5/30.6 depending on the brand... so it'll maybe probably fit. Different size tires with the same tread pattern sound different too. For instance Hardtrailz didn't mind the guarddogs in 32s (or maybe it was 33s) but hated them in 35s
You'll likely have trouble finding someone with a tire that small here as most start with at least a 32.

I run the Cooper discoverer a/t3 in 245/65/17 and they are awesome on and off road. Not a lot of noise on road and capable for the off-roading I do...( seasonal trails and logging roads). Will be going bigger and more aggressive as finances allow.

I think they discontinued the a/t3, my tire guy says now they are the discoverer SST, which I've heard great things about and I plan on buying a set myself.

However, a search revealed that I obviously heard him wrong...
