I have a Sahara and thus the 18" wheels. I like the look of the big wheels, but the Dueller tires just blow on almost all terrain (they did do pretty well in some deep sand last weekend, to give them credit) and I am thinking of picking up some Rubi take offs. This means good bye wheels. So, I was wondering if anyone had done so and regretted it? Or has anyone kept the wheels and found a suitable tire that fits that they really like?
Thanks!

I like the look of the 17" Moabs. Plus the tires are cheaper than 18" sizes. I would do it and keep the stock 18's for winter.

I bought a set of RUbi Take-off wheels/tires for the trails. I leave the original 17" Moab/Wrangler SRAs on for the street .

You could always keep the 18's and go with the Goodyear Duratrac's in say 275/65/18 or a 33" in 275/70/18.

I like Gladiators which is why I just wrapped them in KM2s because I enjoy the super stock look, but there is definitely a premium to pay for 18" tires, to the extent that for some sizes you can buy the same tires and 16" wheels. When you consider how cheap "take offs" are, it makes it even more difficult to stick with the 18s.

i'm not a fan of the 18's. Personally I can't wait to go to 16 steelies

I prefer the look of a smaller wheel and a bigger (more aggressive) tire personally. I'm happy I switched.

I have kept my Stocker 18's and Duellers and only use them for winter months....I am thinking of trading them in or selling them and getting a set of Black Crager 8's in a 16" and getting some Cooper M&S Studded for winter. I hate the prices for 18" wheels...

I kept my 18's and duellers for the winter too, I am on 16x10 procomp rims with 35x12.5 proccomp MT's. I haven't run the big ones in the winter yet so I figured I'd be safe and keep the stockers as a decent winter backup

I always dismount my Eagle alloy and STT M/T tires and replace with the stockers when winter hits...I hate what the salt, sand and gravel do to the rims overtime. I still have lots of tread on the stock 18 Duellers and thus thinking of selling for a set of cheaper Crager 8's and get some real winter sneakers with spikes.
