Re: Tires For My Cherokee
Take a good look at the reviews for Cooper AT3. I've run BFG AT's on my 1996 Tacoma 4WD, Cooper AT's. I now drive a 99 4Runner. I started with the Michelin LTX M/S which were useless on anything other than paved and graded gravel roads. Next up was a used pair of Nitto Terra Grapplers; I was not impressed, and based on other reviews, I won't try them again. I now have 2000km on the Cooper AT3's in a LT load range E. I highly recommend them, although not in a E rating for your Cherokee. First trip home from the coast was in monsoon rains. Tons of standing water on the highways, with no hydroplaning at hightway speeds. They grip well in the dry (but everything does), and clear mud well. They do pick up rocks a bit on the FSR's, but show very little wandering and hook up in off road 4Low situations really well. As a compromise between a MT tire and an AT tire, they are the best I've found.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause."
