I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, with Michelin Radial X, Cross Terrain SUV tires. They have been great tires for me. On a prior 1988 Jeep Cherokee, I had the Michelin XC LT4, and they did well too, but I think they were a bit louder on the road. My tire size is 245/ 70 / R 16.
Although I do drive some off road, including mountain gravel roads and some winter driving on snow and ice, 90 % of my driving is on the road. I am looking for a fairly-quiet tire, with good traction on wet roads, snow, and ice. As far as snow and ice are concerned, if things get too bad on the steep mountain road we use when at our vacation cabin in the winter, I put on snow chains.
I am leaning toward getting the same tire, which is the Michelin Radial X, Cross Terrain SUV tires. But, my son is urging me to get the BFG AT K/O tires. Yes, they are ruggged and I like their looks, but I wonder how quiet they would be on my 2000 JGC ??
Could any of you compare these two specific tires, and comment on the road noise factor of these two tires ?
Thanks for any comments !!!
