"New tire size"

Hopefully this is not old news. While I was cruising for another set of tires, I ran across a size not previously found. Toyo lists in MT pattern:
295/70/17 128P E10. Tire is listed for 8-9.5 rim width has 3970lbs@80 load rating. Best of all load range E, ten ply rated. I am inclined to think this tire will be a good seller because Toyo's reputation and just under 35" probably won't rub at full steering lock. I am currently running Cooper's ATR 265/70/17load E and absolutely love them. I would like a taller tire that would not require a lift to keep from rubbing.
Anybody currently driving on these please let me know if my suspicions are correct.
Thanks
Andy
