Nope, that's a rare one.  31x10.5R15 is a fairly close size, but you're mostly gonna run into highway and all-terrain tires in that size.  Certainly nothing like the BFG Radial T/A's.

265/70R15 is also a fairly common one, but you give up 1" in tire height and 0.75" in width.

I like the 255 70 15 BFG. I had a set on a 74 long bed. Nice combo of height and width. I wasn't even aware BFG ever had a 285 70 but they look good in the pic.

firestone firehawks have a pretty good size selection and are a solid white letter tire. 1010tires has a good tire size calculator to help you compare sizes if you can't find what you are looking for
