Tires for 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport
I know this has been done but if you could do it again that would be
great.
I have Michelin LTX M/S that are to be replaced. I do no off roading
and don't want to spend as much as I did on those.
I am looking at spending $450 to $470 installed and so far it seems
that
BFG Radial TA and BFG Long Trail TA fit the bill. I searched and found
some reviews but if you have a thought on those tires or any other in
that price range it would be great.
I live in a four season environment.
I don't drive much but want a real good tire.
Please help if you can and thanks
Sam

Re: Tires for 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport
Sam,
FWIW, I have the same model/vintage as yourself. In July, I went from
Michelin Cross-Terrains to the Michelin LTX M+S. My out-the-door cost
from the local Discount Tire was $458.78. PLUS, there was a $40
mail-in rebate that I got from their online site, so my end cost was
under $420 and includes road hazard / re-balancing / rotations.
They were price-matching a quotation that I'd gotten from another
local store (Grand Rapids, MI) that would let me have 225s or 235s for
that price.
So, if you liked your Michelins, I'd encourage you to put some
pressure on DT or Bell Tire.
BTW, how did the LTXs do in the snow for you?

I can't do much in the bargaining area cause while there are lotsa

able to shave $40 of the BFG's. Thanks for the reply

I can't do much in the bargaining area cause while there are lotsa

They were fine in the snow and I live in the UP. They are easily the
best tire I have ever rode on. I bought them from Belle Tire in
Southfield. I was so amazed with them right off the bat I said to heck
with it..... I'm going to take these babies for a spin on the freeway.
