Regardless of 18s or 20s, the point is, in general, when comparing apples to apples tires, it typically doesn't cost more to shoe a dually with little skinny dually tires than it does for newer OE srw sizes.
One downside to the duallies is they eat front tires faster because big truck little tire. So that's a factor in dually tires. You're buying 2 sets of steering tires per set of drives, similar lifecycle. Similar duty.
Rears last longer though, so maybe a wash. Same duty cycle with 285 section width on the rear vs 470 section width dictates less wear on the rear.
