The 33X9.5X15 would have rubbed on the frame a little less at full lock and
given just a little more room in the fender when turning. But, they are more
expensive and would have netted me a smaller contact patch. Not what you
want either on or off road. The only place I've heard that narrow tires do
better than wide is when driving through snow on the road. The narrow tire
lets you get down to the ground instead of driving on top of the snow. I've
never lived in snow country so I can't verify this is true.
