What are you asking? What do you mean what is better for the money? Two different sizes of tires. Although practically the same however the 315/70 is closer to a 34" +/- compared to the 35". Looks wise it will be pretty hard to tell.

Is there a specific tire/brand your looking at?

Also depends on the tire. The Nitto Trail Grappler comes in both sizes. One is a load range D (315/70) and the other load range E (35x12.50). Load range E is a pretty heavy duty tire to run on a JK. Would be more stiff on road and less flexible off road.

I'm looking at the kumho venture KL71 315/70/17. Or should I just go with a 35.
