What are the QUIETEST tires for a Cherokee ?
I do mostly highway driving with my 2000 XJ 2WD Cherokee. Never off-road.
For me, it's more of a large station wagon than an SUV.
Given my usage, what are the QUIETEST tires I can put on it ? This thing's
got enough road noises as it is, I don't want tires that sound like a jet
engine at 70 MPH.
I've always liked Continental tires for my Volkswagens, but I have no idea
what their reputation is in the Light Truck / SUV world. Any opinions on
the Continental ContiTrac ? I've noticed on the web that Ford Explorer
owners seem to dislike them as the OEM tire, but then the Explorers seemed
to have had problems with many different tires.
The local tire dealer - Les Schwab - recommended the Toyo Eclipse, but I
know even less about them.
Or any better recommendations ?

Re: What are the QUIETEST tires for a Cherokee ?
If ride quality and quietness are the determining factors you should
consider "All Season, Touring or Grand Touring" automobile tires instead of
the heavier and stiffer light truck tires.
Just make sure you get the appropriate load range for the Cherokee.
