Default 33x10.50s

Hey all,

Looking at tire options and found that BFG makes their Mud Terrain KM2s in 33x10.50x15. All I've seen around here are 33x12.50s or 35x12.50s. I figure these might fit a little easier without as much possibility for rubbing.

Anyone have pros/cons to running a thinner off road tire? I think they'd be better for digging in rather than floating, but don't know how they'd do on a heavier truck vs the compact pickups that I'm used to.

They will give you more traction than the 12.5s cuz you have more psi on the ground. Do you have a link for these tires?
