Goodyear Wranglers are the worst tire I've ever used on a vehicle,
period. The tire-guy even commented on this after he removed and
inspected it. He said that they don't sell Goodyears because of the
cheap, flimsy construction and paper-thin sidewalls. Noise is
secondary here: decent construction methods/materials and a proven
performance history are what sell tires to me.
If all you're after is a relatively quiet tire (compared to Wranglers),
just about any light truck/passenger car touring tire will work fine.
Blockier tread = more noise.

Re: What are the QUIETEST tires for a Cherokee ?
I had Goodyear Wranglers on my Wrangler when it was new. They are a great
snow and mud tire, but sure they are noisy on pavement.

Re: What are the QUIETEST tires for a Cherokee ?
The GY Wrangler line includes a LOT of different tires. For example, the
GY MT/Rs are good, while the GSA's are not.
