Here's a little bit of info, so I could get some suggestions that will fit my needs.

It's a 2WD xj. I'm not looking to have the best trail rig or anything. I'm just trying to beef it up a little bit. 2.5" lift and 30" tires are what i'm aiming for.

-I will NOT be off-road. Pretty much ever.
-I want long-lasting life
-I don't want noticeable noises at any speed.
-I'm hoping to use my stock 15" wheels.

My budget is $500-ish for the tires. I still have to pay more to get them mounted to the wheels and put on the car, so yeah. $500 for a set of 4, tops.

I'm just beginning to understand tire sizes, and I guess 255/75/15R would be what I really need, but I guess it's uncommon to find tires i'm looking for in those sizes, so I'm seeing more of 30x9.5x15.

Also, if you're in VA, NC, TN, GA, SC, or anywhere real close like that, and have a set with at least 60% tread that you're looking to sell, i'd be interested in purchasing!

If you're recommending something you have on your XJ, feel free to post a pic!

EDIT: After more looking around, it really seems like there isn't anything good for a $500 budget....make it $600 -___-

You should check out treadwright.com, they have tires for cheap and I have heard good things about them. U could get a nice set of at's for less than 100 bucks each

Total: $302 haha. I tried to see how much shipping costs would be, but when I click Checkout Now, it just links me to the specials they have going on, with no errors or anything.

Nice! I thought I heard it was like 50 for four, maybe wrong though.

Ah, well my parents aren't...and I own the jeep haha. I'm lucky enough that my dad is able to help me out with all of the labor whenever I need it.
