Tires for 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport

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 were fine in the snow and I live in the UP. 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

Sam

Forgive my ignorance, but where is the UP?

Carl

It means Michigan Upper Peninsula, which is the part bordering Wisconsin. Also where I live. :)

Sam, My brothers-in-law live in Manistee County (Lower Penin.), which gets plenty of snow. 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.
