Dunlop Rover ATs on Cherokee?
 

My Cherokee needs at least two new tires, and I was thinking about the
Dunlop Rover AT 225-70-R15, as they're fairly inexpensive. What's on
there now are Firestone Wilderness ATs 235-75-R15s. I'm happy with
the performance but want to phase them out because of their bad
reputation.

Would mixing two different widths and brands be OK, say putting the
Firestones on the front, and the Dunlop 225-70s on the back. Anyone
like/dislike these? I don't want anything by Firestone/Bridgestone, but
would consider other brands.

I do a lot of highway driving, with some occassional very modererate
off-roading. I would consider all-season tires, except for the fact that
it snows a lot here.

Also consider just buying a "Real Jeep (tm)" before you worry about
tires.

JUST KIDDING. That was my attempt at impersonating the LW dude. Did
I do good? Huh? Huh? Did I? :-P
