Nat... welcome to the site, man... good to have more locals on here.
As for the tires, they should do quite well. You'll need to air them down a bit for the dunes and re-inflate them before you hit the road, but they should do quite well.
A bunch of guys from the MI F150online chapter were out there over Easter weekend... check out the info and pics in the events forum and you'll see a few of them have that tire, and none of them were stuck... coincidence?

Yeah, Joe's right. Just air them down and you will be fine. I've been there twice already this year. I have,for now, my stock Goodyear RT/S's, two of which are bald. I dropped them to,10psi, never got stuck. I definitly like my 5.4 compared to my Black 99's 4.6. Hope you have alot of fun, I'll be back up there the weekend of May 5th.
