I am currently running 35x12.5 BFG KM2 D and would like to run a skinnier tire as well as switch to an all-terrain. I have a set of 5 17” machined finish JK Moabs I will be using once the KM2s wear out (3 more months). I’ve been looking at KO2s as they have a great reviews as fit well here in the PNW for the trails/camping that I do. What about 34x10.50R17/D? I understand it’s not load range C but that’s the best I can do with trying to get as close to a 35” tire and a 10.5” width for both clearance and better snowy road driving. Any input or suggestions are appreciated.
 
I'm guessing the rim to be around 8"? If so then a 10 1/2" tire is fine. I don't think the stock JK tire is wider, and you obviously know that a 12 1/2 will work. So anything wider than stock but narrower than what you have on now really should be a nobrainer.
