97 JGCL (stone white)

I am tired of my funky Michelin SUV tires! They suck so bad for a tire apparently made for SUV type vehicles. I guess its my fault for thinking of my 1997 JEEP Grand Cherokee Limited as an SUV instead of the off road vehicle it is, bad, bad me!

Anyway Those damn tires are like are like magnets, every thing from bolts to penny nails! A BIG FAT FLAT! So now I want some real tires for my JEEP, something I can run over a whiskey bottle with. I was thinking I could do this without having to raise the JEEP or adding any extra hardware if possible. Any ideas? Anybody? Please. I know! Bill! Yeah! Bill knows!! BILL HELP WHAT TIRES WOULD BE GOOD FOR MY BABY! o|||||o

I saw a real cool CJ around the block and he had the tires with an extra thick zig zag pattern on them and had the word BAJA on them, they look like they could run over a land mine in Iraq. Could they work on my 97 JGCL?

I just put some Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's on my TJ. It looks like you are, or have already gone with, the BFGs and I don't think you can go wrong there.

I have been impressed with the Revo's... haven't been offroad with them yet, but they are excellent in rain where the OEM Goodyear GSAs were pretty much like racing slicks.

I'm running Goodyear Wrangler MTR's on my XJ. Excellent off road tires. A bit noisy but that's why there's a volume knob on the stereo. I'm running Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's on the '62 Willys. Also a great tire.

The picture on that site doesn't do the tread justice. It's actually quite spaced out and very deep. Definitely not lugs, but much more AT than HT.

I was stuggling between an AT and an MT tire and ultimately decided to stick w/ AT since it's still my daily driver and is on the road 95% of the time. The BFGs are probably better offroad in the AT version.
