    I speak from personal experience...
    I switched from Pro Comp ATs to the cooler looking Xterrains, and the were GARBAGE in Moab. Bigger voids are good for mud, but you end up losing so much grip on any other surface that they are pointless. The stock all-season Duelers were better than the Xterrains! The looks do not balance the loss of performance, so I am back to ATs (this time BFGs).
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    The only time I did any offroading I was wearing Kumho Ecsta STX tires in a 265/60R18 size, and had no problems keeping up with the group. They're great on road, too; handling is super, and there is absolutely no fit problems with cladding. They are currently $149.00 at Tirerack, so they also fit your budget.

    Got my tires!

    Ok guys, ended up with 255/60R18 Nitto Terra Grappler ATs. Ordered them from http://www.discounttiredirect.com


    $796 including FREE shipping. Still a bit over my budget, but not too shabby.

    Thanks for all the advice!
