good deal?
I found a set of 5 trail grappler 275-70/r18 on 18 inch fuel wheels with about 65% tread left for $1200. Is this a good deal and should I jump on it. Right now I have the 255 duelers and I don't do I lot off road because I don't really trust them off road. What do you guys think?

IMO, it's not the "best" deal but if you think it's a good deal then I say go for it.
No, you shouldn't have to regear as they're only 33.62" new. So mounted and used you're probably looking at ~32.5" and Rubicons come with 32"s I believe.

Like meep97 said no regearing needed to run this size tire.
Is it a good deal? Depends on u man. If the cost is below retail price and in your budget and like them go for it. If not there is tons of options, don't get discouraged. Good luck!

I paid $2400 for mine, doesn't sound too bad at only $1200. You'll want to pick up an AEV Procal and dbl check you have 3.73 gears.
Don't forget about future axle upgrades, C-gussets and stronger ball joints are recommended with heavier tires.

I was gonna ask 900 for my complete set of 5 Hankook Dynapro MT 295/75's with 20/32" tread remaining and transferrable road hazard warranty from DT so no, $1200 for tires with less than 50% usable tread doesn't sound like a good deal at all. Keep looking.
nice jeep man
