Looking for opinions on 2 tires I'm considering for my '99 Jeep Wrangler SE. I want to use the factory wheels and it currently has Goodyear Wrangler RT/S P215-75R15 on it.

Considering the Goodyear Wrangler AT P235-75R15 for the Michelin LTX-AT P235-75R15. Any opinions on either of these?

If those are the two types that you are looking at both are good tires however i believe though I may be wrong that the Michelins are going to get better wet traction on the road. The wrangler Gs-A is a good all wheather tire. I personally like the YoKohama Geolander AT+II I switched to them and havnt had any problems with traction theyre tuff and versitile a little more on the pricy side but well worth it.:sun:

i cant see putting anything "ricey" on my Jeep... on that note i would go with (foget that whole metric crap) 31x10.50x15 (these WILL fit on your stock rim!!!) i prefer BFGoodrich tires because of the hard rubber. i would recogmend that you look at the A/T's and the M/T's they are affordably priced and they have excelent traction in mudd!!!

The Yoko's are not ricy at all the are true truck off road tires and they too have that hard rubber and they have afactory warantee for 80,000 miles more than I can say for the BF Goodrich tires and the Yoko's also get great traction in all types of terain see for yourself look up a pic and the specs for the Yokohama Geolander At+ II's and youll understand what Im saying they are not low profile tires infact I have 31x10.5s on 15x10" rims.
