Default Which tire is good for all-weather daily driving for my 2001 XJ?

I've got a 2001 XJ Limited that is bone stock. This is my "Cadillac", my daily driver to/from work, around town, and long trips. I have an '88 XJ Pioneer for the "dirty work". So I need new tires, have Hankook P225/70/R16 highway style on it now, which came with it when I bought it last year, and these are spent. I want some reasonably quiet, all-weather highway type tires to replace them. Not sure I'm crazy about Hankook, never owned them before on any of my vehicles and these came with my used Limited when I bought it last year, they were sort of low-tread then and I have put almost 15-16K on them. I don't want to break the bank with some high dollar tire like Pirelli Scorpions or Michelins but don't want cheap tires either that will wear out in 40K or less.

Do you think it would hurt my ride(comfort) if I went either one profile-size higher or wider?(i.e. 75 .vs. 70 or 235 .vs. 225).

I appreciate your recommendations and your experiences with the XJ and comfy tires.

I agree with the others. Trust me on this. If u continue to hate on it then it wont end so well for u. I know. I pissed off quite a couple people on this thread. If u want a cheap solid tire then get the Firestone mts like dukie. Or find some used ones. But by hating on the thread all it will do is get u bad Rep. And bad Rep follows u around the forum. Don't whine about not having ur questions answerred. Just a simple reminder will do. The more knowledgeable people(ex. Dukie odgreen newkindofclown and such) do their best to answer all the questions. And they wont answer if u get angry. They don't want to give u bad advice. Calm down about it. If u don't like it here then leave and try a different forum.

Hi, I recently bought a 1994 Jeep Cherokee V6. I'm wanting to put a 8.5 short arm lift on it but I don't know where to start. Will I be able to fit 31" tires with that lift without trimming? I sure don't want to have to trim my fender flares.

I would suggest 8" spacers and blocks. Run the stock control arms. And you'll mess up the angle of the dangle, so a 3" tc drop should help.

I'll give you your answer to your question. Why the hell would you run 8.5 inches on short arms? Buy a 3 inch lift and run 31s.

94 v6 lol

^^^ What he said, but use pressure treated wood instead of steel blocks. It will give a bit and absorb vibrations. You won't feel the death wobble until it's too late

The bad part about that is, I've seen it done.
