how do the 255/85 compare to the 33x10.50 in size? They should be pretty close, right?

Similar in height, less sidewall bulge for the 16. They look quite different though nominal size should be close.
Here is a lousy side shot with the two trucks back to back. The FJ40 has 33/10.50/15 BFG MT on a 7" wide rim, the chev has 255/85/16 Toyo M55 on a 6.5" rim.
The chev is very heavy and requires the higher load rating tires. It would not be well suited to mud terrains in my opinion. BFG AT's would be alright, but the toyo's have a good reputation for gravel use by forestry companies on their trucks, so that seemed a good endorsement. Those michelins would be great if they were commonly available in N. America.
