i would go with hankook dynapro mt's i just got them (32/11.50/15) about a month ago and with our michigan weather im very impressed. Plus i got them at my local pep boys and they came with a mail in rebate for 1 tire free. Ended up paying 900 before the rebate which was 186.99.

BFG A/T's and M/T's are both great tires. They wear very well - my last set of A/T's went 48k (M/T's will go faster than the A/T's) - and will give you good traction in most scenarios. The A/T's don't clean themselves out in the mud, so if you're wanting mud, get the M/T's. If you're not really a mud guy, get the A/T's. You won't be disappointed.

Don't spin on ice? Yet again I laugh (even harder this time). Any tire without studs will spin on ice, and sometimes even with studs they will spin.


I have proven them on and offroad. Probably one of the LONGEST lasting mt's out there. They do decent offroad but that's because they're not the most aggressive mt.

Mastercrafts are made by Cooper so go ahead and add in all the Coopers too.

Firestone Destination A/T, General grabber AT, Mastercraft Courser AT2, all great tires.

I believe the OP wants MT's, and why did you quote me?

I got Guard Dogs from Treadwright (MT/R tread pattern) on Goodyear sidewalls...less than $450 in tires/shipping/mounting & balancing. I couldn't be happier and with a 2 year warranty to boot.

Another quality option. I have Guard dogs on the Yota and Wardens as road tires for my cherokee.

I've been sold on BFG ATs for years. Street, rain, big snow, and some trails work great. Tread lasts a long time and I have never seen them weather crack on the sidewall. Easy to find/buy and they have all the sizes for your Cherokee you'll need.

I like the raised white letters too vs. blackwall or white outline. But that is personal opinion..

I have the Mastercraft Courser MT's, 31x10.50x15 on Cragar Black d's 15x8.
These tires are hard to keep balanced, but then again, they are not made for pavement. They are awesome in the mud.
Overall I like them, but would probably get something else if I could do it again to behave a little better on pavement.
