I put Michilen XCX/APT on the the Wrangler and it made a noticable
difference - I can get much farther from help before getting stuck. I
am seriously considering the Brigestone Dueler Revo for my wife's
Liberty. If you are not hauling youth groups in the ZJ then look at
the ProComp 31's.

made my Michelin in a cowardly country.

 yeah, the tires dont give up nearly as easily as their country of origin.
Oh well, our economy benefits from the sale of those tires. Its not like we
dont get anything out of the deal.

 You're probably stupid enough to believe moneys spent for a toyota
assemble here isn't a part of our trade deficit.

 And just as usual you're not capable of understanding what makes a
trade deficit, so I wont bother explaining where the money went that we
paid for our BF Goodrich tires.

Even thinking of stepping up the rim size to>16-18" to improve cornering

22's my man... 22's. dubs+2 lol.

my vote on the at/ko's also.... very friendly all around tire.. or, if you
want a mostly street tire thats good in the rain, my brother has had good luck
with the futura adventurer - not as aggressive as the at/ko but better in the
rain on the streets. still got him where he needed to go in snow or dirt - but
again he does't offroad save for camping trails...
