thanks for the welcome guys!
about 3 weeks of summer left.

im picking up some tires thsi week sometime.
either BFG A/T's or BFG M/T's i think.

anyone have any advice? will i be driving in snow alot down there?
will i be able to put up with the road noise of m/t's for 13 hours on the way down and back?

will i benefit enought from M/T's?
...i definately like the look of the M/T's better... and i have see them dominate in the mud :)

go for the mud terrains if you ever plan to wheel it. i chuckled at the road noise concern, as I'm now used to sounding like an airplane going down the road with swampers.

X2 on the muds. I am currently wheelin the A/t and am in the market for M/t. The A/T don't wear down as fast for road driving but for wheelin the Muds are the better way to go from personal experience.

Welcome and see you in few weeks!
