Let's compare the Toyo ATIII in 35x12.5 and 285/75 both for 17" wheel. I have some Method 17x8.5 +35 offset wheels in LC trim.
Initially I wanted 285/75R17 which is available in the Toyo ATIII in C-load. I've seen some pics where it looked good but then realized it's on the 1958 trim, where the plastic fenders are about 1cm narrower. Got me thinking maybe I want the +25 offset instead. Thus, I was thinking of going a wider tire to compensate for that...and I saw the 35x12.5 is also available in C-load as well as E.
Then comparing these 2 sizes, they're practically the same weight. Despite the same weight, a larger tire will have slightly more moment of inertia due to the mass being further from the center.
The 35" has 35 max PSI vs 50 so it probably would be less durable. I wonder if it's the exact same tire and materials but they slightly stretched it a bit.
That comes to the last question. Having a 12.5" width compressed to a 8.5" sounds like it may make it look a bit balloony and maybe affect the wear negatively? I would've guessed a 9.0" wheel width would be best for this width. Not sure if it'll make a noticeable difference
