Just out of curiosity what is the equivalent tire size of a 16inch rim w/31's? Is 265/75/16 the same tire size as 31/10.5/15?

For a BFG All-Terrain, a 265/70R16 would be the closest equivalent to a 31. They are both 30.7" diameters. The cross section is a little wider with the 265 (0.2" wider). A 265/75R16 is the same cross-section as a 31, but is taller with a diameter of 31.8".
 






To figure out any metric tire conversions, check out this site: Dead Link Removed

For the most part, non-metric tire measurements aren't as exact as a metric tire measurement.

www.4lo.com is a pretty useful site.

Hope this helps!
 






A 245/75/16 will be the same height as a 31x10.5, but it will be 1.5-2" narrower (I plan to use one as a spare to match my 31's.)
