I have a 2013 Unlimited Sahara. I had been looking at the SilentArmor too, then this month Goodyear came out with a new version of their Adventure tire, now has kevlar, liking the look of the tread more than the SilentArmor.

I want to keep close to the stock size as well, at least in diameter 32.1 (255/70-18), I wouldn't mind a little wider though, don't want lift or spacers and my main reason for the different tire is for snow, the stock Duelers have crappy reviews for snow. The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger yet is paying for new tires when the ones on the Jeep are so new, only just over 5000 miles on four and zero on the spare. Maybe I can get a tire place that also sells used tires to make a deal for a trade

I went with the 265 70 17 duratracs as well. Perfect upgrade for me and my JK at this point in its life. I'll go bigger down the road when I can regear but these fit the bill until then.

265 is just 10mm wider, not at all. It is actually stock size on some models as 10 years anniversary edition.

Yes, I am actually in favor of smart upgrades, getting lifts and install monster tires will effect negatively everything on Wrangler. Most of us are driving it on regular roads all day long and don't need winch, large metal bumpers etc.
