Replacement for Michelin All Terrain tires
Jeep 2000 Grand Cherokee. Bought Michelin Cross Terrain tires (245/70/16)
three years ago, and put 74,000 miles on them. Now, I can't find these same tires anywhere. Not at Sears/ Walmart/ Sam's Club/ Sun Tire/ etc, and many online outlets. I liked these tires because they were very **quiet** and seemed to have decent traction. I do "some" driving in snow, but not a lot, but that does matter do me. Based on your own actual experience, can any of you recommend the closest **Michelin** replacement ? Again, I got 74K out of these tires, and they were the quietest tires that I have ever had, so I am very inclined to stay with Michelin. Comments please, on similar, **Michelin** tires ?? Thank You !! James |

Try the M+S/2, (see Tire Rack adverts) it has a new tread design that is quite different from the M+S you can get at Sears, etc. I moved from the older M+S (after 7+ years of use) to the LTX AT/2 but those may be a bit too open treaded for you. |

Whoops, just read your post more closely so recommending BFG AT Ko's doesn't fit but I recently ran into another of those "helpful" nanny rules at a couple of chain places: They have instituted a a "policy" of not replacing one or even two tires on the same axle if the tread wear on the remaining tires is shows the remaining tread to be less more than 3/32 less than the new tires on a 4wd vehicle. Try convincing the numbnuts there that this is not an issue on a command track (part-time) 4wd with an open diff, especially if you are replacing both tires on one axle. What a bunch of dummies! This might matter on a locked axle or, to a minor degree if only one tire is to be changed! When pressed, the manager allowed as how the only solution he had was refund the purchase price of ALL 4 TIRES and sell you a full set if the tires were replaceable under their warranty! Talk about lack of understanding of the issue. -- Will Honea |

As you I really like them...but I have 17 inch and the 17 inch sizes are much more expensive than the 16 inch to replace for some reason. So one positive is that you are lucky to have 16 inch wheels.

Larry Some claim the Latitude Tour is the Michelin recommended replacement. http://www.michelinman.com/tires/suv...latitude-tour/ or the Tour HP http://www.michelinman.com/tires/suv...itude-tour-hp/ The MS/2 also has the silica tread enhancer, and if it lasts anything like its predecessor, you Jeep may wear out first: http://www.michelinman.com/tires/suv-crossover/ltx-ms2/ |

I loved my old Mich LTX M/S except for when they got onto wet grass. Thought I was running slicks. :O Right now the ZJ has Firestone destination A/T tires and so far I'm quite happy with on and off-road performance. Nice and quiet on the highway, decent grip in the corners, and so far I haven't gotten stuck. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....nation +A%2FT -- DougW |
