its not an even trade since your wheels are larger=wort more money. if infact you do trade get some cash out of it. i personally wouldn't downgrade if i was you because your suspension is set up for 18s

There are lot's of cheap 18" tires out there. An example of a cheap brand that aren't junk (granted, not nearly as good as BFG for example) are Nexen N7000 tires.......they'll get the job done if you don't have a lot of coin.

Do you have a Costco membership? If you do, go there and order the BFG G-Force Sports. Great traction and cheap as all hell!!

If not Costco, try Discount, but they will slap so many BS install fees on you, you're gonna see a $50+ increase in price.
