If you plan on driving over somewhat gravely/plowed roads with a CHANCE of going off into some powder I would strongly urge AGAINST any MT tire. I have 35x12.5 toyo MT's and they = WORTHLESS on-road ice/packed/gravel/plowed roads. They float like butter through powder, but I'm trekking @ less than 20mph on road at all times in 4-hi if it's snowing.

Given where you live, runit3, I'd consider getting those MT's siped. You're likely to see fairly warm winter temperatures, which means that there's a lot of water forming under the tires...Toyo MT's don't start out with any siping.

Local tire store won't touch my wheels until I take my spacers off, I just bought a glock so any money that could've gone to siping will have to wait until after xmas
