I run bfg mud terrains w/ 3.73 gears and a 6 speed. not bad at all, have to down shift on big hilss to matain 70. it is still way better than with my previous jeeps. I think you'd have a problem with an auto tranny though.

i'm in WhiteMarsh and drive 695, 95, and 83 a lot. It will depend on your setup, but it also depened on the 35's that you pick. My NittoMud Grapplers sound like a B-52 bomber (Clackey can confirm this too) on the road. I don't mind the HMMMMMMMMM though, plus these tires have gotten me out of a lot of muddy situation.

Matt if you want we can meet up one day and I can take you for a drive on the highway to what you think about them.

Our 35 Toyo's are great on the highway. I think they are slightly quieter then the stock BFG MT's and they handle better too. The power isnt bad with 4.10's and a 6spd, but it could be better on long hills. I can live with it, but my wife wants to regear or put the 32's back on....
