I need some advice. I'm going to my first jamboree this weekend,and it looks like it may be raining. My question is which tires should I use? I have 2 sets, one set is a 31x10.5 AT's , the other set are 235/75/r15 mud. Ijust finished pase one of my build up. 3"lift, d44rear d30front 3.55/1, all skids f&r c4x4 bumpers, arb snorkel. So what do you think tire size or tred patern. thanks

it really depends on what you're going to be doing :) If it's really gonna be muddy... MT's might perform better then AT's... but then again, clearance and floation (wider) might be more of a benefit...

Go for the tread of the mudders, you can always dig to traction no matter what the size.

well... if it's slippery and it's rocks.... AT's :) Mudders loose a bit in rain on slippery surfaces....

In other words...either AT's or MT's......depends. I have always run MT's at Jamboree's and never been sorry.

Don,t have too many mountains in La. do you.Run the MT,s,you are only giving up about an inch of tire.
