I need some opinions.

BF Goodrich Mud-terrains 265/75/16
with road hazard, lifetime balancing, installation and the like for $164 each.

Go for it or look for something else?

I've made a tentative appointment with Discount Tires...

 

Is that the equivalent of a 31x10.5? If so, I'd say that's a pretty good deal from a dealership, especially with the lifetime balancing (make sure that includes rotation) and road hazard.

 

You can get MT/R's for that exact same price. Have them match Tire Rack at $153, and figure $11 a tire for the other stuff which is what my Discount charged. Better tire for the same price. If you don't 'wheel though, then it doesn't matter which tire you get.
