I purchased a set of Rubi takeoff K02s that i rotate the stock Duelers with. The Duelers did fine in the snow before i switched them out, including driving through the worst snow storm we have had so far this year. I cannot tell an appreciable difference between the Duelers and the K02s in the snow.

That said, we also have an Armada with Blizzaks and an Audi A5 quattro with Michelin x-ice winter tires. Both handle noticably better in snow and ice than the Wrangler with either the Duelers or K02s.
Do you use a tazer to adjust the tire size each time you switch between k02s and duellers?

I have a Sahara 4xe with ASD and stock Duellers on it right now. Zero issues in the snow in 4H Auto. We are currently getting 2-4" of snow today and can't wait to get out in it.

Willys are very nice wheels, but yea 4 year old tires on a new vehicle isn't worth it

Look in the Buy and Sell section here for people selling new take offs, for very good prices, US gets better take off deals than in Canada.
Our local dealer last summer had JLUR AT take-off for $500. Factor in TPMS it's an extra $100. So $600 for JLUR take-offs? Shewt.

I have not yet as the difference in speedo at 40mph is only 1mph (per the often linked Tacoma tire calculator at least) and we dont usually drive the 4xe for highway trips where difference is 2mph at 80mph. However, i do plan on picking up the tazer at some point and will dial it in.
