Does anybody have ideas on replacement tires 2015 Latitude 4x4?
We do get snow but I do not go off road. OEM firestone only lasted 28,000 mi.

You were fortunate. Mine are worn out at 19,000 on our Latitude (17 inch). We do live in the NC mountains but wear should be better. I'm also looking for recommendations as to replacement tires, a bit more aggressive than the cheap Firestones. Any suggestions out there would be welcomed.

I had Michelin ms2 on my XJ for many years and they were great. As soon as the stock tires wear down on my 16 sport I'll be getting those for this Cherokee

I just picked up some Goodyear Assurance? TripleTred. They ride nice but they dropped me 3 mpg. The cheap michelin's i had on it last year went great in the snow. I forget the product line but it wasnt anything fancy.

As a follow-up to my earlier post, I ended up with Continental Cross Contacts. They seem to have near the top ratings for an SUV tire and get good reviews for wet and snow driving, considerations for the mountains of western NC. I'm pleased thus far. They are quiet and don't exhibit any squirming on curves, equal or better than the OEM tires. I have two cars with Conti Extreme Contacts and love them for the appropriate applications, so I'm optimistic with these.
