Sadly Ive spent a ton of time looking for a new set of tires (and wheels). Ive come to the conclusion that the BFGoodrich KM3's are at the top of the list. But, heres my dilemma:
1. 315/70R17
For someone who wants as little of unsprung weight as possible, that weight difference seems huge.
Also, with a 17x8.5" rim with 0 offset and 4.75" backspacing, will I have to run with an additional tire carrier that moves it up and out or can this fit on the stock tail gate bracket?
Thanks...any and all input is appreciated!

If you put these two side by side, given those specs, they would look about the same since the are only off by a couple fractions of an inch. However, one is 8.6lbs heavier. What am i missing here? are the stats posted by TireSize.com off (https://tiresize.com/tires/BFGoodrich/Mud-Terrain-TA-KM3.htm) Width: 12.5:
