Looking to get feedback about which tires NE peeps have had success with. I am relocating to Vermont from the giant sandbar (Fla). I am familiar with the terrain from numerous dual sport trips and thrashing in the woods.

Just want to see what you guys have had success with up their. Thanks!

There's a big variety of terrain around here. Rocks, mud, snow, and sand if you look for it.

BFG all terrains have always treated me well.

Honestly it comes down to what you do with your cherokee. I run 255/85r16 maxxis bighorns.
But I'm 90% road/dirt road 10% woods trails.

If i spent my time closer to 50/50 I would go with super swampers New England is extreamily hard on tires and rigs. I've riped through BFGs, toyo's, and some no name brands
Super swamper LTBs work fantastic , Q78s are a good choice, SSR,
The biggest problem is if you road drive it the ice in the winter can be a *****.
