Agree 100% if I was going for the best quality and most expensive at the same time.
I was assuming the high school kid wouldn’t be down for $400-500 a piece tires.
Not a great value if not pounding out high miles. Any ole mudder will do the job about equally bombing around the farm and hunting trails.
If on a tight budget I may even consider some China bomb mudders for his purposes.
And then if ya want better wet and snow traction, sipe them.

7.00-15LT Deestone 503s. Remember the Grip Spurs we all “had to have” way back when? Or the BFG Silvertown Mudder? Still have viable 7.00-15 tube type Silvertowns on a 1949 Dodge 1/2t sporting 1978 Ramcharger tubeless factory wheels. Those tires are over 50 years old and still suitable for putting around the farm… Have outlasted 3 trucks and 2 sets of wheels…

Yes. Most people now won’t use them on a street driven truck. My grandfathers were in agriculture, maternal was a farmer, paternal a cattleman. Father in law was a cattleman. Childhood neighbor was a cattleman, horse logger and former muleskinner.
If Power King 9.00-16LT was still available in the states, they would be on my K3500. Since they are not, going Deestone 503 in 7.50-16LT (235/85r16 in modern). Can still get both Piwer King and Silvertown Mudders brand new, in Mexico, too far from TN.
I have a set of -very- early Interco TSL radials in 33-10.5r15. Have worn like iron, ready to go on their 4th rig. The newer ones are too soft of a compound, wear like Chinesium.
If you want a long lasting modern tire, BFG, Hankook, General. If you stepped the truck up to gmt800 16” take off wheels, I would happily reccomend Wrangler Authority in LT265/75r16 (31-10.5). Made in Canada, 3 peak winter rated, studdable, wear like wrought iron… Ran them on a K1500, run them on the rear of a K3500.
