The answer for me is that 16 inch tires are much more available, you can obtain a lighter duty tire (ride much better, and Transforce are Load Range E), and the used Ford rims I purchased are 1 inch wider, allowing better look and slightly wider tire. In my instance, my wifes truck uses a 265-70-16 tire, and I am going with some tires removed from her truck (free tires are good). These tires are just passenger rated tires, which should ride fairly decent, and i have no plans on heavy loads or towing that would require the E rated tires. But, others may need the heavy load rated tires.
