Thanks for that- I think I do. SO switching the OEM 215/65/17s out with the more common 235/60/17 would be a seamless transition... wouldn't hut my Jeep at all and would not mess with the speedometer reading, right?

Also, I can look at passenger car tires. I cringe to write that, but I now do about 25,000 miles/year and 99% of them are on main roads. OFTEN snow covered, but still main roads.

Great reviews, and same size as stock 17's. I didn't buy them since I'd risk paying taxes at the border when driving back to Canada.

The price is too much for some wheels like that. How about searching for more tires that are of quality and with free benefits like installation, no more taxes, etc...

I'm very happy with the Toyo Versado LXs that I have on mine. They're very good in the snow and wet conditions and are by far the quiet tires I've ever owned.

Our other car has a set of Cooper CS4s (T-Rated) and they're also a good set of tires.
