stock tire question

[RenegadeRecruit84]

Hey guys I just recently purchased a liberty renegade and I guess the previous owner really liked the factory tires. Well they're pretty much brand new and previous owners stated the that the jeep never had problems going through snow or what not. However after reading many posts about the wrangler sra tires and looking at reviews I'm abit concerned about these tires.

Now I ship out for Basic Training in a week and don't want the woman to be harms way but I'm alittle worried. Am I overlooking this or do I have reason to be concerned?

I have yet to find some one who was
or is happy with those tires
If it is in the budget I would replace them

Obviously the previous owner wasn't a real driving enthusiast!
I wouldn't even use that crap for a tire swing!

First order of business - Thank You for being willing to put YOURSELF in harm's way as you head off to basic training. I thank you! atriot:

Second order of business - replace those tires so your woman doesn't have to deal with crappy traction over the winter.

Well said Bob!

Best wishes to you in your journey in the military.

Others pretty much summed it up pretty well. If you have the money for a new set, buy something better and see if you can sell the SRA's on Craigslist for a decent buck. That's my plan to get rid of these POS Goodyear Integrity's I have.

Some people think tires are tires and just that. But they don't realize what the real differences/advantages/disadvantages are between All-Season, Summer Tires, Winter Tires, All Terrain, etc. Only thing that matters is COST. But in the end, an accident could cost over thousands of dollars and time wasted in courts/insurance.

Yea my other car is a turbo MR2 so I know all about tires and traction with that, just don't know much about truck tires.

I have bfg all terrain k/o on my jeep and they do good in the snow

there's a bunch of fellers runnin the treadwrights some with the MTR style tread some with the BFG AT style - that being said, Nokian vatiiva AT's are a pimp tire for a stock size tire that will get you in and out of the nasty stuff and still be great on the street in the summer and won't break the pocket either

hard to go wrong with either of those choices - there's a lot of good AT's out there for fairly cheap

Treadwrights are the bee's knees. Very limited selection in the stock size though.
