I recently traded my old XJ for a 2006 Liberty Limited, which has the factory 17 inch wheels. I need to replace the tires, and I'm considering the Bridgestone Dueler A/T 695. There aren't a lot of A/T tires for this size, and I'm a fan of Bridgestone. The other alternative would be to go with a so-called highway tire (Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza), which is more like what came on the Jeep from the factory.
Should I go for the A/T tires? I sometimes (but rarely) drive in mud or snow, but most of the time I just use this on the street. I also do a little light towing (utility trailer -- load has sometimes been as much as 3000 pounds).
On my old Jeep I had Michelin LTX tires, which were great. I've considered those for the Liberty but I'm into Bridgestone these days. And I get the feeling that this Liberty is a lot less of a truck than the old Cherokee was.
I think the A/Ts would look better, but they probably won't last as long as the car tires.

The old one was much better, I think Scorpion A/T was the older one. Not sure about the ratings on that one.
