Sorry Mike, I also don't agree with the 12.5" being just for show. When I had my BFG 33x12.5 on I loved them on the road and off. In the rain they spun less then my friends 33x10.5" with a similar setup and I was able to go through mud with a LOT more ease then him. There wasn't much that stopped me but there was that stopped him. Having wider tires also gives you a wider stance which will help with the center of gravity aspect also. I would also write that skinny tires on the rocks work well too since you can position the tires very easily. During the rock crawl in Parry Sound this year there were a number of people scaling down their tires width and height.
I also drove mine in the winter every day for 2 years without any problems. The thing drove like a dream in my mind.
