New tires for 2000 WJ
 

I am thinking about putting new tires on the 2000 Grand. The tires on
now are Goodyear ST P225 75R16. This vehicle usually just gets
highway miles, but we do get quite a bit of snow around here.

I was just wondering what other people have bought to replace the
stock tires on the Grand Cherokee? Had better luck with a different
brand / size? Thanks for any info.

I put BF Goodrich Long Trail T/a's on the wife's WJ. 245/70-16. Much better
than stock. I'm in NOLA though, I don't know about the snow characteristics.

You can't go wrong with BFG A/T KOs. They are a little hard riding
compared to some brands. but will get you around pretty well all year
long, except for mud. Most OEM tires are chosen by the manufacturer to
give a smooth quiet ride and good tread wear. Traction or versatility
is rarely a major factor.

They look pretty good too, if that matters to you. They are a very
popular choice for replacement tires.

A 245/60-16 should fit, a 235/75-15 is available in more sizes.
If you don't need the super ice traction of a silica or silica
fiber gungho ice tread, the Michelin X AT and Pirelli Scorpion
AT are pretty good all around highway/snow tires. Both have
a less squirmy feel than the Goodyears. Michelin M+S is another
candidate with reasonable snow capability.
