As mentioned you can fit this size on your Frontier.

Keep in mind the Nitto Terra Grappler 265/75R-16 come in both a D and E load rating. Here is a link to them on our web site:

Stick with the D rating unless you haul a lot. E rated tires can haul more but they are a lot heavier than D and will murder your MPG's a bit.

 

That's kind of a blanket statement that isn't 100% true. Some tires yes, but if you look, some E load range tires are not as heavy as others. I think the BFG TKO2s were 3-5 lbs heavier than the Duratracs in the 285/75/16 E load range.

 

In general there are very few tires that have a D load rating (letter rating is really a construction/ply rating and not a load rating, but that is a topic for another thread). Most manufactures have a C and a E. I personally like a D load rating. In most cases a C will actual take less load then a "P" metric. So a D gives some extra beef, comparable or slightly greater load than a P (each tire is different), and not as heavy or stiff as an E.

 

I may have confused my ratings with the P tire that being the case.... Whoops, sorry about that. Either way if you can't find one that is the P-metric type then look at other brands unless you are just going to go big. I recently installed a set of 285/75-16's that were the Falken Wildpeak at3 tires. They are fantastic tires, super quiet with great ride quality, but the set I got was an LT and it weighs 60 pounds each tire, compared to the 265/75 Non LT which is 44 and the 265/75 LT which is 55...
That is a lot of rolling weight to be slinging around and it knocked my mileage from an average of 21 MPG to just barely 17-18 at any given time (worse if I do anything over 75 MPH).

 

IMO a LT-C and a P are basically the same. This weekend I had to plug a BFG AT deep in the Nevada desert. It was a C (not my rig). Surprised that a sharp rock was able to penetrate through the thread section of the tire, which has more plies then the sidewall, though it was right between lugs. The thread was at 8/32", new those threads are 15/32 deep, so not super worn out. My buddy said he was set with flat repair though "light". So I did not bring my "kit".

Ended up using this compressor (different packaging though)

this plug kit. Didn't even come with cement.

and one bottle of fix a flat that wouldn't flow.

Sometimes it is worth getting the E tire. Sometimes not or it doesn't even matter.

 

I was commenting on the exclusion of an E load range tire because it is heavy and will "kill you on gas mileage". I lifted and went to a 285 E load range and lost only 1.5MPG. Hardly "killed" my mileage. Had I gone with the BFG's which were heavier, I possibly would have lost a little more on the MPGs. But yes, same size, different load range, the E will be a heavier tire. it's worth consideration, but not a disqualifier of a load range as a rule. The Duratrac is not available in a D load range in 285/75/16, so, had I been avoiding E load range tires, I would have gone with a different tire and missed out on what has so far been a wonderful tire.
