Tire width/ride quality ?

[LukeBurl22]

I have a 2.5" BB spacer lift. Getting 33" tires on 15" rim soon. Which will ride better: 10.5" width or 12.5" width

All depends on tire pressure. If I run 35 it's rough as heck. I run 22 in my 33 10.5 and they wear great and ride good. The 10.5 will let you run a little less and still get good wear.

Ride should be about the same. On road handeling will be a little better with the 10.5s.

the wider the tire, the worse handling will be on-road.. the wide foot print seems to grab every groove in the road and follow it.. It seems that the 12.5" seems to be that happy medium where people can live with the side effects. If you go wider, your handling will get worse, narrower and it will improve. I have run 9.5",10.5", 14.5",15.5" wide tires and that has been my experience. I prefer the 12.5" myself, but if on road manners are top priority for you then I would go 10.5"
