Not at all. There is actually a lot of reading material of skinny tire vs fat tire. Comes down to what terrain you running.

That is a sexy size for a rig w/3.5" of lift.. starts to get narrow on 35s tho.. i liked my 34x10.50s.. now, that i think of it, wasn't that narrow, but they only measured like 33.5.

my zj was 35x12.50 on 4.5, and i REALLY liked that setup.

Just google it. There is a lot of peoples opinions that automatically say the 12.50 tire is better. Main reason is because it just looks better. I know my 33x10.50 tire looked a lot better with a 15x7 wheel instead of the 15x8.

x2.. i ran my 34x10.50 on a 15x7 w/4" backspace, and thought it was damn near perfect. i could stuff those bad boys really well, on 4.5" of lift w/no bumpstops! steering felt good too. that's what i like about 10.50s... less stress on steering.

My train of thought too but I hadn't thought about wheels. I'm pretty sure mine are 15x10 so I might be forced to stay 12.5 unless I wanna replace wheels too, which I do eventually, after axles are swapped. Hmmm, appreciate it guys, I just figured since we don't get nearly as much moisture / mud here, the 10.5 would perform just fine but thought I'd ask. I'll lock in a decision later, it was just a thought that had crossed my mind when I saw White's post.

So trade and buy a new one? Still gotta be cheaper than a new full set? Are all the depths similar? Get the new one shaved down?

Also why I want to run something slightly skinnier in the front.
