What’s a good all-season replacement tire for a 2014 Cherokee Ltd 4 cyl 4WD? Anyone experienced with Falken G5s?

I have Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires, they are very good, recommend!

Tire Size calculator - https://tonybassogm.com/wheels-tires...ze-calculator/. Use tire calculator to compare tire sizes based on tire diameter, radius, sidewall height, circumference, revs per mile and speedometer difference.

Kumho ATs. Best kept secret in off road tires. Every bit as good as the Big Names, but a lot cheaper.

He did say all season in his request. But good tire. Goodyear weather ready has served both me and my gma well. My Buick has them for summer tires and her jeep has them in

I will second the Goodyear Weather ready tires, in factory size. They have performed well in rain and snow covered roads. Much better than the Destination LE2's that came new on the truck. They are not cheap, but if you shop around and keep an eye out for a rebate from Goodyear, they are reasonable.

You won't find better all season tires than Kumhos. You can pay more, though. That's easy.

I'm in the same boat looking at new tires, and suffering sticker shock at the prices lately. The Discover A/T3 tires that came on mine cupped badly on the inside edge and have gotten very loud with about 30k on them. I really don't recommend them. I swore I had bad wheel bearings until I put the snow tires on. It's not the struts or shocks as the snow tires are fine.

if you have cupping your tires are NOT the issue especially coopers .

It's very light cupping on the inside edge blocks. You almost can't see it but you can feel the back edges of those blocks are raised up higher than the fronts. I agree tires don't cup for the heck of it, and I suspect the front passenger strut is bad. I plan to replace both struts before getting new tires, But the weird thing is that it's all 4 of the Coopers doing it, and my snow tires have more mileage on them and they're not doing this.

I also disliked these Coopers because the had poor grip on wet roads and were only so-so off road. Snow/ice performance was fair, but I have dedicated snow tires for the winter.
