Default which tire is wider?

I already looked on Tirerack at each tire's specs, but i know form personal experience that the tire widths often differ from their posted sizes. I am looking at these two tires in 315/35/17.

BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

I'm not a big fan of the tread design or Goodyear at all, but i was wondering which tire is wider. I am leaning towards the KD's out back and the KDW's in the front, but i'd like to know some opinions from people that actually have this or have dad this tire, not just speculation. Thank you

See...from everything I've heard, from all the research i've done, every think says that the BFG"s are the widest tires. Tirerack says that the KD is 12.6" and the GS-D3 is at 12.3"

I would say they are about the same. They are both VERY wide. However I dont really care for the tread pattern on the GSD3. I like the look of the BFG KDs though.

Nitto's run narrow, that's just the way they have always been.
