Re: Need new tires for 2002 Grand Cherokee Laredo
Pretty much any tire you can find will be superior to the Wrangler ST. It
is Goodyear's low bid factory tire.
While I am not a big fan of NTB they do offer lesser
known brands. Are you a 'brand name only' person?
Are you limited to the locations where you can purchase tires?

Re: Need new tires for 2002 Grand Cherokee Laredo
the biggest thing is the tires measuring the same diameter since one
smaller tire can screw up the 4 wheel drive

Anything 'Goodyear' is junk in my opinion. The guys who did my tires at
Costco affirm this. While you're over there, check out Michelin LTX
series instead - best tire I've ever put on a mostly-street-driven 4X4.
