I had a blow out on the pike last week (Wednesday) while in the left hand lane. Front drivers side blew out and the side wall is gone  . Not sure if I hit something or not. So I'm thinking maybe I need something a little better for the highway. Currently I have 30x9.50 15's on it. '02 Tj Sport all stock. I do most of my driving on the pike and will not be off roading much if at all. Any suggestions on a good set of replacement tires? Thanks! ~MadMike |

I had a set of these when I was running 30's. Got about 50,000 out of them. Still have a bit of tread on them . . . keep em around for passing inspection and stuff. Worked real good in the snow and rain. Ran them across country a few times and they got wheeled at moab and out west mostly, held there own on the trail. They were quiet on the road until a belt broke in them. www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=LTX+A%2FTThey were a ton better than the stock 30's that came on the TJ from the factory. Thats my only experince with tires though except for my current pair of mudders. |

I would recommend the BF Goodrich All Terrain KO's as well. They have excellent tread-wear ratings, are tough, ride quietly, and are an all-around GREAT tire. I am planning on buying another set of them for my Grand Wagoneer, if someone ever buys my YJ  They do cost a little more than similar tires, but I believe they are worth the money. |

I second these, my dad runs these on his truck now, hes gone through only 2 sets in over 120k. good street ride too. the BFG ATs will wear quickly compared to a something like this. |

definetly go with Michelin if you do a lot of highway driving. They cost more but last forever I have them right now on my F-250 w/72,000 miles and probably have another 10k left on them. Also the BFG AT'S are a good choice used to run them on my jeep, looks better than Michelin and cost less.

If you want to avoid any further blow outs, can't go wrong with firestone!
