It's time for a new set of tires for my 97 ZJ.
I currently have a set of Goodyear Fortera that were on the GC when I bought it. Overall I was not very impressd with the tires, mediocre traction in rain and snow at best even when they were pretty much new.

My GC spends 95% of its time on paved roads and what I'm needing is a good tire at a reasonable price that will hold the road well in the rain and very light snow. I run 235/75 R15 and the vehicle suspension is all stock.

Anyone have any suggestions, good experiences with a particular brand and model of tire that would serve my purpose, or even suggestions of tires to avoid?

Thanks

Stick with a siped all terrain, popular brand name and you should be fine.

I have Big-O Bigfoot A/Ts on my ZJ and I love them. They're made by Cooper, they are wearing like iron, give great traction on and off the road, and I got them for a good price.

I was running siped Bridgestone Dueller AT Revos, 31x10.5 and they were great.

Snow was awesome, clogged a bit in mud but cleaned out ok if I spun them fast enough.

General Grabber AT 2's. fairly easy on the wallet and good for light snow and a decent amount rain as well as a little off road. they wore really well too. I had about 15k miles on them and they still had lots of tread left. I would say they would be good for somewhere between 30k and 40k miles. I had them on my 2wd Tacoma and was able to go through some light trails in NC. I'll be putting these in my XJ when it's time for tires.

If I remember correctly, Huntingman uses the grabbers on his MJ and has great success with them.

Kumho kl-78 is a good all around tire. Ok in mild mud, with good winter siping that handles ice good. About 110 each for a 30x9.50 -15.
