As far as the width of your tire, a 10.5 is only a tenth wider than the 265 you stated that came on it stock, however....a 205 width tires at 8.1 is 2.4 inches narrower and more CD friendly.

Another factor is the wt of that 31. The first 5 tires in that size from my suppliers come in at an average of 41.6 lbs each....the 265 size tire average wt is 38.2 lbs....not much difference, but some improvement can be had going back to that tire. I am still concerned that that tire did not come on it.
