Default Decision on tires

I think I've made a decision on tires. I'm going to stick with the stock Sahara size in the 18" rims, but I'm going to get a more aggressive all terrain. The Hankook Dynapro ATm seem to have a much more aggressive tread pattern with great reviews. This should help me with my goal of having better traction off road on the occasion that happens, but keeping the DD stuff in check on the road. Anyone want to talk me out of it? Or want to affirm my decision?

As one who kept the stock 18' Sahara wheels on my previous JK, I wouldn't go that route again. I had to compromise on tire selection and pay more for that size rim.

I had Dynapro ATM's before and I can say that they are good off the road but I think the Terra Grapplers are better.

I have the Hankook dynapro AT 285/70-17's on mine with the stock wheels and 1.5" spidertrax spacers and I really like them. No issues at all.
