Tires For an 00 XJ

Anybody want to talk me out of Hankook Dynapro ATM 225/75R16 ($165.88)?
Also looking at Michelin M\S2 225/70R16 ($175.70) because I've had two
sets of the Michelin LTX M\S on a 98 ZJ which gave me close to 90k
miles. Also considering Michelin AT2 225/75R16 ($246.10).
Currently running Mickey Thompson Baja MTX LT225/75R16 but looking for
something more road friendly. PMetric or LT?
Original equipment was 225/70R16.
Thanks
Steve

I'm not gonna try and talk you out of the Hankooks.
I just put a set on my YJ and in the snow I go places in 2wd that my wife's
YJ has to be in 4hi to go. A lot of people around here use them and
everybody I talked to before I got them loved them.
I've only got about 1500 miles on them so I can't say how they'll last, but
one guy who's got them on an '09 Chevy 1/2ton said he's had the same wheels
and tires on 3 trucks and they've got over 70k miles on them(they're about
worn out now, though).
I'm running 30x9.50-15s on stock YJ aluminum rims. I've had several sets of
different brands in the same size in the past and I notice that the Hankooks
are "clearancing" the flairs a bit more than they already were.

Yeah, so have I. Got close to 90K on my wife's ZJ. Put another set on
but sold the ZJ when they only had about 12K on them. Would have moved
them to the XJ but they were 15"

It's a soft top Wrangler. Actually, I'm pleasantly surprised, hardly any
tire noise at all.

I ran the Michelin M+S and loved them as well for pretty much anything
but hardcore. Migrated to the AT-2 and also like them, but they are
noisier on pavement, I dont notice a huge improvement in grassy muck,
possibly some. AT-2 a tad better on snow, but I normally run studded
snows in the winter time since the snow tends to get deep in Colorado.
When the AT-2s wear down, will most likely go back to the M+S

I'm leaning towards the Michelin LTX M/S2. Thanks.

I predict you'll be very happy and they may outlast your vehicle.
