OK, I've got some new (to me) wheels (15X8) and will put rubber on them soon. Lots of tire threads of course, and I think I've read all of them...but I wanted to see if I understand all the differences between a 10.50 and 12.50...
10.50
Better gas milage
Better in rain, snow, ice
Tracks straighter
12.50
Better in deep snow & sand
Better in deep mud
Better in rocks
Did I miss anything? (Besides aesthetics - just looking for functional diffs)
I do have one question - given the same rim, will there be a stability difference between the two? I assume the mounted 12.50s will make the truck ~2" wider. Will this make a difference, on the road, or aired down off road?
Thanks for the help.
