I run 33x10.5's with 4.56's and it's not bad.  A lot less mass then 33x12.5's though.  Ran the same setup with 32x11.5's as well as 35x12.5's.  The 10.5's are by far the best for onroad.  I could still go with 5.13's or even 5.38's and 33's though.

Although if you're using 33x10.5R15's SS TSL's then they're going to be a lot heavier then a radial.  IIRC, TSL's don't ride on all the ligs till they wear down then they get noise as all the lugs are in contact with the road.  The softer tires also increase rolling resistance.

If you want more size options, you could try the metric sizes. My 33s (Toyo MT) are not the standard 33x12.50 rather, they measure closer to 33.5x12" they also make a 33.5x11.5 but were out of stock. Dunno what the options are for 34 or 35s but if you feel that you may be pushing it going to a full 12.5" width, see if they can come close to 11-11.5" in the metric sizes.
