Re: Tires for 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport
Sam, My brothers-in-law live in Manistee County (Lower Penin.), which gets plenty of snow. Because of the price, they tried Cooper tires. I believe that they first had an all-terrain tread, but now have settled on the Discoverer M+S. They have a rather soft rubber compound which makes them terrific in snow and on ice. However, the compromise is a more rapid wearing on dry roads. Jim On Wed, 12 Sep 2007 06:48:32 -0500, c <c@me.org> wrote: >It means Michigan Upper Peninsula, which is the part bordering >Wisconsin.
