Yes good advice..
In the KO2 there is nearly a 50.00 difference in price per tire when going from an 18 to 15 wheel. That's 250 bucks counting the spare PLUS you can sell the 18's to a JK owner and be ahead.

Been researching switching to 15s, looking at the K02 and Maxxis buckshots. How much could I sell my 18s for I wonder?

On selling the 18's IDK purely depends on the wheel and your market. You might find someone willing to trade you even. 5 ravine's new are likely to set you back 200 to 250 so the tire savings funds the wheel so you are not out any additional coin. I am personally not a fan of anything larger than a 16 on a TJ but you have a greater tire selection in 15.
Also there is nothing special about going from a "road" tire to an AT tire. I believe I would find a different shop.
[Edit] you know the KO2 and Buckshot are different types right? The KO2 is an AT and the Buck is an MT.

IMHO, driving 75 mph in a TJ (almost regardless of tires) is a "fun" ride anyway. Short wheelbase and high CG cause that. Also, gas mileage is really bad, given the aerodynamics. My experiences with DW have most often occurred within a few thousand miles of replacing tires, most likely aggravated by worn tread. Good luck with your TJ.
