I have Nitto 305's and love them. They are the only tire I could find in the 32.8 to 33 tall (same heigth as 285) that was 10 ply, with a heavy load rating. They also max at 60 or 65 lbs pressure instead of the normal 85 for a 10 ply. They are a month old and have 4,000 miles on them. Ran them to Mexico for 10 days with about 2,000 hwy miles and 500 off road miles. Very quiet, very stable, and worked very well off road in the desert. Ran them in mud around home and they worked as well or better than any M/S tire I've tried. So far, great tire at a great price. With the 265 I think you can also get a load range E which is 10 ply. My experience shows E's are more stable, and wear longer, at least for me.
