1904 Stair Tread Replacement

When we pulled the waterfall carpet off the stairs in our old house we learned why one of the steps was misshapen. The nose of the tread was broken off.

The question is what would be the best replacement stock to cut new treads from. The existing looks like 1x10 pine. The thickness is 13/16.

Should I just go with 1 x 10 and call it good? Pine/fir or something harder like SYP?

Stair will be carpeted edge to edge.

Thanks
