I'm a fan of the Toyo M-55 in this size. The tread blocks on the shoulders of the tire are spaced close enough together that the tires don't get an uneven funky wear pattern on a heavy truck.

The term 10 ply rated is a bit misleading. None of the radials that are 10ply rated have 10 plies. That is a carry over from the old bias ply truck tires.

I run 33x10.5 BFG MT on my cruiser and we have 255/85/16 M55's on the 1 1/4 ton CUCV. Both work well for their application.
