The only reason I have bought muddies is coz I had 2 x 215 AT's on the back and 2 x 235 roadtyres on the front, and they didn't have a lot of tread left :(

If I'd had a reasonable set of AT's on all round I wouldn't have bothered.

Terrain will be mostly stony/rocky with few muddy sections so road tires will be fine.

Are we likely to be going through the carwash ? Coz I haven't modded my airbox yet , and if we aren't I probably wont bother doing it until after the 18th

Airbox mod shouldnt be necessary for the carwash tho. Generally not that high.
