Here is a conversion table. If you have 16" rims they are slightly larger than 31". Most tires aren't the actual size, different companies will call their tires a certain size but they are usually off by .5" or so. If you want to know the true size most companies websites will have all the data. Conversion

265/75/16 = 31.6" which in tire terms is a 32" tire. A typical 31" tire will only measure about 30.6 or so which would bump it up to a 31" tire by industry standards.

265 only refers to the section width of the tire in millimeters measured from sidewall to sidewall when mounted on a specified width wheel. The '75' is the height of the sidewall expressed as a percentage of the section width. A 265/75R16 is thus no wider than a 265/75R16, but it will be taller.
