If you go wheeling that often I would run the M/T's all the time at least during your wheeling season. I pretty much leave mine on through the summer, but if I'm doing a long road trip or soemthing I'll try and put my A/T's back on to save gas and get more power. I also put the A/T's on for winter driving since they have better wet road and ice traction.
Anyway, if you go with an M/T and you're going to drive it on the street, I would definately be careful which tire you chose. Even if road noise doesn't bother you, the noisier tires won't last long on pavement and some of them will literally rattle your fillings loose at speed...not to mention rattle your truck to pieces. I would highly recommend either the Bridgestone Dueler M/T (what I run) or the BFG M/T for their smooth quiet rides and their excellent offroad abilities. They also have good wear characteristics and will last longer than most M/T's. A couple of the Interco tires are pretty smooth and quiet too, but since I can't remember which ones I'm not going to suggest them. I do know that the Super Swamper Bbias ply is NOT a good choice.
I just noticed you're in Cali, so you can run them all year around no problem. Save you money on the extra wheels and all the trouble of changing them all the time.
