Hi Guys,

This is my first post so please be patient. I recently bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2008 3.0L Diesel Laredo version ... and I choose 18 wheel instead of standard 17 inch.
Now the tires size is 245/60-18 all season... the problem is this year in Canada the all season tires are not accepted anymore in winter so I looked everywhere on internet to find winter tires of this size and no chance :( ....
I don't know if there are some other winter sizes that could fit with my 18" wheels.
Could you please help me with this? Any links where I could buy winter tires would be very appreciated.

Thank you very much.

 

what do u mean there not excepted in canada ? winter tires r better but i dont know of any place that wont let u run all seasons all year .

 

Two years ago Quebec made winter rated tires mandatory. Ontario has talked about this but I'm not sure if as law has been inacted. If so and you have a weather related accident could you be charged? Would your insurance cover you?

A really good winter tire is the Toyo Observe Open Country G-02 Plus. You can use a P235/65R18 because its overall diameter is well within 13mm of the OEM tire. I think the only drawback is this tires initial price but I think its wear characteristics still make it a good deal.

 

Try checking out a set of BFG Allteraines. I had them on my Cherokee for 3 years and they were great in all weather conditions. I travel all over Vancouver Island for work and have seen all weather conditions. The BFGs proved to be an exceptional tire for my vehicle. So much so that I have purchased a set for my 07 Wrangler Unlimited.
