Re: Tire recomendation?
I had the stock Wranglers on my 90' Jeep and replaced them with Kelly Safari
AWR after about 50k. I live in Rochester NY, we get extreme weather, be it
snow/ice/rain...you name it, we get it. I had the Kelly's on my old jeep for
5 years and loved them. Got them on my wifes Cherokee last year when her
Wranglers were losing tread. Now on my newer TJ just waiting to put the
Kellys on again. The Wranglers were not as good in the snow/ice. I didn't
notice too much difference in the rain. The only thing I would say they are
slightly better then the Kelly's are for cornering (not a great idea in a
Jeep). I think this is because they are so hard. I'm not an expert, this is
just my opinion. Good luck.
