    Should I go with 30's or 31's and mud terrains or all terains. Jeep is going to be used for light offroading and deer hunting.

    I've seen pics of the trails around Bethel...:shock:
    I'd definitely go with 31" MTs.
    ATs clog easily with mud, and can leave you stranded where a good mud terrain will pull you through.

    Remeber tires wear.
    32's become 31's pretty quick.
    FWIW.

    if you are truely just using it for light offroading and deer hunting and no or very little road driving, I'd go better safe than sorry and run some 31's instead of 30's and go with some 31" swampers. They will be the best in muddy conditions and best overall off road tire and you won't have to worry about them cleaning out in the mud and if you get stuck with swampers, you won't have to wonder if it was your tires that got you stuck, cuz other tires wouldn't do any better. Plus they are relatively cheap compared to some BFG's or something. I have more sand and rock where I am and not so much mud, so I went with Pitbull Rockers, but for you I'd say go swampers. Good luck.
