Default 33x10.5 or 33x12.5

I need new tires and thinking about downgrading to 15" wheels. What do you guys think would be better 10.5 or 12.5 wide? Is 10.5 to narrow or do they still look good. Don't do a lot of wheeling just want a nice look.

id say 12.5 bigger is always better, but if u dont do alot of wheeling the 10.5s will handle better and still look good, this is a good place to get tires https://www.treadwright.com/ ive had my ground hawgs on 2 trucks they are good imo

Yea, I'm not worried about little road noise. I'm just tryin to figure out what I want. Kind of want new wheels and tires, jus trying to figure out the cheapest route. I know they don't make treadwrights in 33s anymore so I'd have to stay with 16 if I went that route.

I am looking for the Ground Hawg tires on Treadwrights web site, and I can't find them. Gota link or did you post the wrong name. These are what a Ground Hawg tire looks like, http://www.mud-tires-direct.com/GroundHawg.aspx
