| | | Tires On-Road Cherokee
Hey people, I have a 2001 Cherokee and was wondering about available on-road tires. For two years I've been sliding around on the road's slightest bit of moisture or foliage like I'm on ice or still have my offroad tires on. I was wondering what would be a good road tire to purchase for the vehicle and I am not just considering a rain tire. I also would like a lighter tred or more low profile for traction in dry conditions. A rain tire usually solves the issue in the rain but i would also like something that doesn't make my steering float or bounce on dry pavement as much. I have a pick up also but I cant use it for much other than hauling.

I'm assuming you have a stock Cherokee and don't go off-road. (if so, we need to fix that....)
I've been running AFG AT's for years and have not had any issues wet or dry. VEry good traction. I would avoid the Pro-Comp tire. Good traction but they tend to ride rough.
If you want to improve the look slightly with no extra expense, go with a 30'x10.50'. It will give you a slightly better look and not have any adverse effect on driveability.

Right now, I have Cooper Discoverer ATRs size P215/75R-15 on my stock height XJ with 15x7 steel rims. They are have very good traction dry, rain, snow and ice. I tow a 3200lb. pop up camper with the Jeep and I do some light off roading also. I bought them at R.S. Strauss at @ $50.00 per tire.

Firestone Destination AT has my vote. Have them on my '95 ZJ and stick like glue to wet and dry pavement.
