One thing I'm waiting on now is a procal so that I can lower my sensor settings. Should have done this right from the get go. You'll want to run them at a lower pressure than the stock tires and if you'll find the sensors will sometimes come on even at say 32 psi and of course at 15 psi on the trails.

Yeah that sounds good. I'm not really an off roader so an all purpose tire is what I want. I'm thinking I want to avoid the wheel spacer route so I'm thinking I'm going to get AEV pintlers and stick with 32"s or get a spacer lift and go 33"s along with the pintlers.

GY has the duratracs on back order. Id be shocked if you can get them. I got mine 4 months ago and had to bribe a GY salesman and he got all 5 tires from 3 different states.

That being said, the duratracs in 18's are about $50 more expensive per tire. Looking back, I should have gone with 17 in wheels and the same sized duratracs. The general rule is to never have a wheel that when multiplied by 2 results in a number greater than the tire height.

Regardless, if you can get them, the Duratracs are an unbeleivable general purpose tire. THey are quiet and smooth, great on the dirt, sand and snow. Id go a different route if I was looking for real rock crawling tires.
