Skinny better in snow. Wider better on rock.

Which tire? I have 35" Duratracs for winter 12.5 and love them (Kitchener ON Canada) and rolled on 35" Mickey MTZ's 12.5 for 3 years in summer and loved them. Just bought 37" MTR's 12.5 going on this spring. I like the look of the wider tire/stance too

I prefer the 12.50. More stable and looks better imo.

depends on application. Tall and skinny? Mud and snow.
Wide, floats and is good on rock and sand.

Love my 12.5 Duratracs. Worked great on the Rubicon, in Moab and on the freeway back and forth to work.
