Assuming the tire is no heavier than 50-51 in LTC as well, I would have to give it a very hard look. My P265 70 17 Wildpeaks are an amazing all-around tire and can handle any terrain when new/ish as well as Utah or Montana at 7-8/32ns but in the Arizona desert I start worrying about punctures already before 15,000 miles on the set. I now have two tires that are getting under 7/32nds (26,000 miles). I need to go through another winter of desert driving to see if the P265 Wildpeaks will do in the long term for me.
EDIT: one of the guys says that the LTC 265 weighs 43lb. The noise comments are not as welcome, but nothing is perfect...
