285's or 33x12.50x16's?

About ready to blow a grand on new tires, question- should I go with the 11" wide 285/75/16 size or the wider 33x12.50x16? I know the 33's look more agressive but im afraid they will hydro plane and suck in the snow and maybe rub when off roading.
I will have a 2" leveling kit installed, just wondering what experence everyone has had with sizes.

They will hydro plane a bit more but nothing to be worried about. Might want to look into getting fender flares for you truck..bc it will be dirty all the time if you don't.

Don't know about the '95 but on my '98.5 even the 285's rub a bit even with offset rims. With the stock rims they rubbed a bunch ! And with 3:55's they hurt my mileage. I'm goin back to 245's next time.
