Just picked up a set of 7 spoke denali wheels and tires with 7500 Miles on them. The wheels have the Bridgestone dueler hl’s. I want the best ride quality for the wife. Is it worth swapping the dueler’s for the defenders now and selling the duelers for 350-400? Or will I even be able to tell enough difference to justify the upgrade at this time?

You will notice the difference. The Duelers are junk IMHO

Went ahead and put new Michelin’s on the rims. Like I’ve read before, the suspension is definitely tighter with the 22s over the 18s but it still rides really good.

I’m guessing you have a taller sidewall with the 18’s and that will make a difference on how the steering feels

Yes, considerably taller sidewalls. The 18s had a floating feel.
