Tire question: 33x10.5x15 vs 33x12.5x15

[Jesse]

Topic says it basically. But here it is agian: I'm buying new tires, and I was wondering what is everyones opinion. Should i do 33x10.5x15 or 33x12.5x15. Or does it even make that big of a difference? Any input is welcome! Also any resonablly cheap tire recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

34 X 9.50 Super Swamper http://intercotire.com/tires.php?id=8&g=1 and a some 2" spring spacers. I have seen those work and it's impressive. Stock wheels with a 2" spring spacer.

What size rim do you have (width)? Street or trail tires?

If you have stock wheels 33 x 10.50

Personal preference, 33x12.50x15. I run 15x10 wheels. I prefer the 12.50 though simply for the extra width.

Jesse,Can you even run 33's with no lift.

I have 15x10 http://asp.americanracing.com/dealerline/blackimages/mega/mAR7673.jpg.
and i'm looking for an all-terrain tire.

I have been told yes, but I am also lifting my jeep 4 inches within the next two months.

With 10 inch wheels you will want to go with 33 X 12.5. Most wheels are not as advertised. My interco TSL are 33 x 12.5 but are really only a little over 10". I have been very pleased with the BFG all terrain http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/overview/all-terrain-t-a-ko/44.html. Suck in mud but great in snow rocks and most everything else plus they look good and are closer to the actual size than most. Not really cheap but rotated properly will last a long time.

I have buddy's that like the pro comps. http://www.procomptires.com/truck-jeep-tires/pro-comp-tires.aspx

You could buy these and if you dont like them give them to me. IROK ND | Interco Tire

I have the BFG A/T right now and love them. The 33x10.50 are cheap enough. But the price for the 33x12.50 jump up $30 per. I'm looking at the procomp tires. What are your thoughts on them?
Edit:
I just found these two tires and they are a whole bunch cheaper:

I perfer skinny tires, less rotating mass, the tires don't stick out as much, and my preference off road.

Also, for no reason other than looks should a tire 12.5" wide be on a 10" wide rim.

Well, it's done. I order four of the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac 33x12.50x15. I've heard lots of great things about them.
