Hi Im considering putting wider tires on my cherokee. I just happen to have a set of wheels and tires I can place on them. The tires will end up being 235/75/15. My question concerns how these tires will effect over all handling, gas milage and road feel. Will the truck handle as well. Will it corner better or worse. Basically Im asking what advantages or disadvantages I might expect. Any help here before I go and put them on will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

My wife has had 2 Cherokees(a '94 2x4 and a '93 4x4) and we've run(and are still running)the 235/75-15's on both of them. No adverse handling or mileage isssues have presented themselves, and it sure looks a lot better with more rubber on it.

You will notice a radical decrease in snow covered road handling.
I went one size wider up to the 235's and regret it.
I now spin out a lot easier in snow and my off road sand hill climbing became a 'lot' harder.
