My commute is 18.2 miles round trip, four times a week. My truck has just about 190k miles on it and it's an '04. These facts are making me lean towards "cheap tires"

I dug up a review on those tires that tells me they're good for 53k if you take care of them. My truck gets about 2k/year, so at that rate, they'll rot before I wear them out.

Are you getting those from Walmart? Must be store dependent as the closest one to me says 165$ but I live in a an ag area so maybe there's a premium for them.
I would jump on these as a winter tire for my 4-runner for $45 a piece. I don't have the commute I used to and could get away with something like this. I'm tired of getting stuck in the snow/ mud in the woods when I go shooting at the farm.
I was trying to get these from Walmart but the ones on sale are not in stock anywhere. Updating the OP, hopefully we can all find some and folks won't snatch my much needed new tires

I had them on my Jeep. Decent tires. I replaced them with Toyos when they finally wore out, which took a while. Would buy again, especially at that price.

Can't you fit 265/75/16 on your truck? My 4Runner was originally equipped with 265/70/16 as well, but I've been running 265/75/16 for a decade.
The WM in Alexandria has 4. Unless clearances are really tight on your truck, I'd go for it.
ETA: A tiresize calculator says the new tire will be 1" larger in diameter than your current ones and will cause your speedo to reed 3.29% low. At 70mph, that's 2.34mph off, which won't even get you a ticket if you're close to the speedlimit per your speedo.
Call Alexandria, buy the tires, enjoy the savings.
