Indecision between 35x12.50 and 35x13.50

Ordered my wheels today (procomp 6089 18x9) and im looking at the pro comp xtreme all terrians. Cant decide between the 35x12.50x18 and the 35x13.50x18(325/65-18). has anybody seen these tires in person???? Main reason is I like a fatter tire but if you can barely tell a difference I cant see spending the extra 300 bucks a set for the wider tires. Anybody got any pics or comments from your experience what to do?

Thanks
Tom

Any difference in load rating between the two?


I plan on stepping up to 37s in the near future, but im going to stick with 12.50 width since I rub a tad right now at full lock, and wider and ill rub worse, BUT I have factory wheels.

What are the backspacing on the wheels? Stock backspacing, id stick with 12.50s, if they stick out .5"-1" more than stock, id consider the 13.50s.

Well, I dont know about those tires. However, I can tell you that with the 9" wheel that you will see better milage (tire life) out of the 12.5's because they are not streched on the rim. Either will fit ( depending on backspacing of the wheel) but the 12.5s will be less baloony and give better milage.

Stay away from pro-comp they travel all over on the freeway handling will suck and they have terrible life.I loved my 37" Nitto Mud Grappler's they are loud and wear very nice I had 45k on them when I changed to 40"s and still had 40-50% tread left.I have the Toyo Open Country now the jury's still out on them.
