12.5 is the section width (the largest part of the tire, sidewall to sidewall)
Thread width is the width of the contact patch unmounted and fully inflated to maximum pressure.
Section width depends also of the rim width.

Duratracs are very good, I would buy them again with no hesitation. It is an excellent all around tire. Not the best in mud but very capable and they are not too noisy on road.
