Tire recomendation?
 

Greetings and Happy Holidays!

It's time to replace tires on my 97 Jeep Wrangler..I now have Goodyear
Wrangler p225/75r ...bought the jeep used ,I think they might be original.I
do most of my driving in the following ratio: 50% highway 55-65 mph---40%
curvy paved mountain roads---10% dirt and gravel fire roads. I need
excellent snow performance ....I live at high elevation in western NC. I've
tentativey decided on 225/75SR15 Goodyear Wrangler RT/S .....any comment or
other suggestions? Stock wheels...7" I think,not interested in changing
wheels or lift kits,etc.

Thanx !

I used to be a Goodyear dealer and in my opinion the RT/S is a piece of
crap. In the goodyear lines, the best thing to get for your situation
is a set of 235/75R15 Wrangler AT/S. Going to the 235 size is a very
small change in terms of circumference and height, but there are a lot
more options available than there are in the 225 size as far as load
ranges go. If you are willing to spend a little extra money, you can
get light truck rated tires in up to load range "D" in the 235/75R15
which will hold up better than the "P" rated tires you currently have,
which were actually designed for use on passenger cars.
