Car Forum / Jeep / September 2007Tires 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 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?

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. I can't do much in the bargaining area cause while there are lotsa tire stores they are all small so they need to make their price. I was able to shave $40 of the BFG's. Thanks for the reply http://www.coyoterock.net/pix/jeep%20online.jpg Sam >Sam, >FWIW, I have the same model/vintage as yourself.

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.
