Default Better tires?

Hey, looking for better tires for my truck. The size of the tires are 255/70/16s. Looking for some tires that will have better traction and a higher speed rating. The highest speed rated tire I have been able to find for this tire size is S, hopefully someone knows a higher rated tire than this. Any brands/models and where to buy them would be greatly appreciated.

Have you ever considered the Toyo Prosie 275/60/16?

I might take you up on that offer, how much do your wheels weigh?

Yeah, horsepower is important, but so is traction. Horsepower is nothing if you are like me and have no traction.
