Very interesting. While I share many sentiments, I hate to crawl under and work on a dirty Jeep. On the trail there is no choice. But I try to clean mine now and again. Not so much mud here though. Your 31s, whats the sidewall say? Most are 31x10.5, I'm looking at some 31x9.5s, though, they are an extremely aggressive tire, the price isn't too bad. They are Interco SSL Radials @ about $130/tire.

Higher levels of Ethanol haven't made it here yet. And E85 stations are few and far between.

An interesting thought here though... Has anyone taken into account altitude in there MPG calcs?
