Hello all. I just found this forum a few days ago and now I have a semi-urgent question. Sorry for just jumping in here but I need to make a quick decision on new tires.
I have a 2001 Cherokee (last few months of production), 4.0L, auto, 4WD, limited slip, Up-Country suspension, factory towing package, 105K miles, owned since new.
I need new tires. I did a few searches here but did not find the info I need. The Cherokee is my every day driver. Also use it to tow my small travel trailer and a utility trailer. I would like to do some mild off roading.
A mechanic friend in AZ (I am in SE Pennsylvania, he owns a Cherokee as well) suggested three tires:
- Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza
- Michelin LTX M/S2 (it has the LTX M/S on it now, seems to be good tires)
- BF Goodrich Allterain T/A KO
I was thinking the Goodriches. My local mechanic is telling me this would not be a good tire for general use. He is suggesting General Grabber HTS.
What tires do you all recommend for general / mild off-road use? These are 225/70 R16 size.
I am not on a tight budget. I want “the best” (yes I know, a very subjective measure but you get the idea)
Your help is most appreciated.

Hey everyone, I'm looking a to buy a 3.5" lift with full packs and shocks. Can anyone point me in a good direction of a relatively cheap but good quality lift that does well on the road? The jeep will for the most part be my daily driver
Thanks
Thanks

Lift Kit start
I am looking in to getting a lift somewhere between 4.5 - 6.5". I have an NP242 TC and I have been looking around and I cannot find a SYE/CV for this transfer case. The places I find state its for the 231 only. Any help?

for the road or on the trail? in that size your options are mainly leaning towards mud tires and i loved my interco trxus m/ts in the snow.
you will hear alot of mixed opinions on this. i would go with iron rocks 3.5" lift kit myself
you will seriously want to consider a rear end swap for tires that big on a dana 35. you will also hear mixed opinions on this but in the end, a D35 is a weak axle and i wouldnt really even trust it on 33s. try to find an 8.25 out of a 97 or newer xj or even better, a D44.
there was a site, maybe it was tom woods or im not entirely sure that sold them..i will try to dig it up. but the 242 SYE was more expensive.
