You'll be happy with that set up for a long time. Do not hesitate to air
those tires down to about 8 or 10 pounds if you go offroading. The added
traction will be astounding.

I run the 32x11.50 Mud Terrains, and I was in the sand a few weeks ago and
was stuck in the creek bed. I was in the process of airing down to see if I
could get unstuck - I could go places but I could not climb the bank of the
creek to get out - and I heard some heavy equipment driving by. I got the
driver to stop and hang around while I aired the last tire down, then put my
Jeep in position to have him pull it out. I decided to give ome more try at
getting out by myself, and made it easily. I had been working on the path
out for about a half hour, knocking down the vertical bank to one that was
more like 45 degrees. But, my tires kept sinking in and I couldn't go any
further. When I aired down, I set the tire pressure to about 5 pounds, and
the traction was so much better that my Jeep climbed right out on the first
try.

My point is, your 31x10.50s can be aired down to around 8 or 10 psi if you
are in a pinch, and the increase in traction will amaze you. Of course, now
you will have flat tires that will be very dangerous on the street, but you
can mitigate that problem by simply going slow and not swerving.

my two-cents thats not worth much,
i got myself a small tire compressor at schucks, 40.00 heavy duty unit
made of metal, not plastic,
went to the beach last week and played around, 30pds sunk like a brick,
10pds, and we were crusing, 30inch 9.50
when i was done took ten munutes to air back up on pavement, 4 of that
was stuffing it back into the bag it comes with,
im thinking of mounting it under the hood and running air lines 1 to
each center,side with a connector,
i definatly likeplaying in sand better than snow, cept no trees to hook
up to if ya get stuck,,,
what does one do??? if ones stick and the tides turning,,,,,besides
cry,,,,grin,,,

Just run one line to the front by the grill, and get a hose to reach to all
of the corners. You want as few connections and splices in the air lines as
you can get. You also want any lines you run to be protected from ---- going
by, like rocks and stumps. If there is a breach in the system anywhere, then
you are hosed.
