10.50s are better in the winter because it does a better job cutting through the snow and getting to the ground. the 12.50s will just ride on top of the snow and you won't get ground traction.

 

Mine with 33X10.50 BFG Mud Terrains KM:









An interesting read on the benefits of a narrow tire:

To each their own. I actually prefer the look of a wider tire, but the 10.50 is easier on the stock steering components and should give slightly better fuel economy. If you believe the expeditions west white paper, a narrow tire will actually provide better traction than a wider tire of the same size.

 

i got my km2 for 950 after tax in kitchener, ontario canada???seems to be almost the same as in the states. works out to be 237.50 a tire after tax.

 

don't even mess with 33's. 33's are for sissy's. It is all about the 34/10.5's biotches.



I'm j/k about being sissy's no one get mad :)
