I am in my 3rd week of owning a 2005 Grand Cherokee Hemi. I am in need of new tires and I am wondering what everyone is running. I plan to do a little off road and towing a boat. The size I have is 245/65/17 but I read I could fit 255/60/17 or even 265/60/17 since they are same height but almost a inch wider. Keep in mind I have to use a Firestone card due to low cash on hand. ..
i really like my hankook dynapros, I have about 40k on them and im sure ill get another 20k or so out of them no problem. when they go im considering a toyo or the new yokohoma geolander as a replacement
I am looking at the Dueler A/T Revo 2 tires. They have them in 255/65/17. It doesn't look like ill have a rub problem. Just wish I didn't have to get new tires before I could afford new rims. I wanted to get a different offset to get even wider tires.
I would really advise sticking to street tires as best as possible. Much like the compromise made with all-seasons, something that's a streetable off-road tire, or vice versa isn't going to be particularly great at either task. Unless you're dead set on off roading quite a bit, I'd highly recommend picking up a second set of off-road only wheels and tires. They'll also last much longer.
I've had the destination AT on mine and the wife has the destination....idk what they are called... All seasons? Both do very well on road wet/dry, hers doesn't go off road, mine does well in all but deep/loose mud. Her tires are slightly quieter than mine. Both are wearing well. I give them both 2 thumbs up.
I ended up going with the Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2. So far they are nice and quiet and the ride is great. Haven't taken it off the road yet but from the tread pattern it looks like they would do good. I live in Cocoa Florida so there aren't any Trails out here that I know of to test them out.
