Been reading posts here for many years and know there are several others like me who have a SWB Jeep for play and a ZJ/WJ/WK for daily driver.
I have a 2002 WJ Limited 4.7l with the 17"x7.5" Rogue wheels and Michelin LTX A/S 235/65R17 tires.
It's time for new tires and I don't think the LTX A/S tires wore very well (the truck only has 34k miles). The truck occasionally is driven on dirt/gravel roads in the Coachella Valley but not actually "off-road" (my '98 TJ takes care of those adventures).Most of the miles on the WJ are driving between LA and the Coachella Valley, many times in the heat of the summer (100 plus degrees) when I assume the hot asphalt may play a part in tire wear. The truck has only seen snow once (I'm a warm weather kind of guy). I'd like tires that balance good road handling and ride without looking like "car" tires.
I was looking at TireRack and reading about the Goodyear Forteras. From your collective wisdom, I'm hoping for some opinions and recommendations.
Thanks in advance.
