Default 33 12.5 15 mud tire on freeway?

Im looking at 33 12.5 tires and 15x8 wheels. I was just wondering how they handle at 70mph or so. Dont do a lot of driving at this speed but I would like to know if need be and not have to put my other tires back on.

I run a lot of highway miles on my 35x12.50x15 MTRs. No problems at all

I also have 35/12.5R15 MTRs and I have not had any issues. A 33 on a 15 is the same amount of sidewall as a 35 on a 17 which is very common on a jk.

I am running 33x12.5x15 Duratracs on a daily driver driving 40 miles each way and do not see any issues on the highway.
