Default Tire Help....need advice on 18 inch all terrain

So I have done some searches but havent found what I am looking for (not blaming the site - blaming my search capabilities lol)

I have a stock 2010 Sahara with the 18inch wheels. I want to replace the stock Duelers with BF Goodrich Mud Terrains like the Rubicons come with - but it appeears those are not made in 18. I do not want to lift the truck or install spacers. What options are people running for a more agressive tire?

If those are the tires you want but you want to keep your stock rims, I bet you anything your local craigslist will have someone who is trying to get rid of their stock 17" rims for cheap.

I put the Firestone Destination M/T 275/70R18, they perform and look really great....and don't break the bank.

Your best option is to switch to 17" rims. It really opens up your tire options and the tires are less expensive.

I've got a 09 Sahara, and have been looking for new tires/rims. I really like the way that the 18's look, but I came to the conclusion that I would have to go with 17" rims to keep the tire budget under control. You have a whole lot more options on a 17". Personally I think I'm going with the Black Rock Vipers and most likely General Grabber AT2's.

BFG has switched to the KM2

The KM is no longer made in any size other than the LT255/75R17/C that is stock on jeep rubicons.

Which explains why you can't find it for an 18" rim...
