I had some 31s on my XJ for a couple of years. They wore like steel & gripped good in most terrain and I would have replaced them with another set except after a while the lugs wore unevenly. They got LOUD as hell on the street and especially the highway!
If you wouldn't mind the noise, then go for a set.

I'll chime in anyway...
I had a set of 33x12.50R15s and loved them! Granted it wasn't my DD, they lasted me 5 years, and about 50K hard miles.
I kept a close eye on the pressure, and rotated them pretty often, probably every 2-3k miles.
The traction was good in mud and on the rocks, as well as on road.
They also actually measure 33", unlike the BFGs that tend to run small. At a glance, most thought I had 35s.
I would have gotten them again, but I went to 35s, and they don't make a 35 for a 15" wheel
My buddy had a set with over 20000 on them and they still looked like new. Great tire he would rotate with oil changes and didnt have any wearing problems or much road noise. Great tire only reason he got away from them as stated they dont go past 33s for 15" rim.
That doesn't count, you said "I think" and "friend"
From my personal experience, they are as strong or stronger than about any "normal" radial M/T. Mine were about the same, maybe a little thicker than the 35" SSRs I just threw on.
My brother runs 265/75/16 (32's) on his '02 Tacoma, and I must honestly say they perform pretty damn well, especially in the mud they clean and bite very well in the black swampy shit. Highway noise is noticeable, but not that bad. The sidewalls are pretty tough, he airs them down on the trail to about 12-15 psi and they havent torn yet, under pretty good abuse.
