Swapped the 21’s and summer tires off my summit reserve for 18” XDs and Kumho Venture with a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Had 10” of snow and didn’t bat an eye in snow mode.
Best Tires for Jeep Grand Cherokee
Putting Cross Climate 2’s on was one of the best decisions ever. Wet, dry, snow or sun… doesn’t matter - these tires continue to impress.
It handles Midwest winters way better than the four options you listed, lasts longer (80k warranty), and feels more planted on heavier SUVs.
We have a jeep GC L summit trim got it from a dealer loaner car it's fully loaded but not the v8. We like it the only downside is that it's smaller than some SUVs so it's a 2 x 2 x 2 seat config in our case and we've found we need a 7/8 seat config more than a few times.
I had a set on the Grand Cherokee that I traded in for my R1T and I loved them. They were great in the rain and fantastic in the snow.
I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart, and I've been happy with them.
I had them on my excursion and while they do ride nice and look cool they will be a hit on mpg, as all AT tires will. And this is where you have to be honest with yourself, we all want to pretend that we take our SUV, off-road, and have adventures with it but, if I’m being real with myself, 95% of its time on road and that other 5% of the time is not a trail that would require an aggressive tire. I saw a decrease of 15% on both of the SUVs I traded a highway oriented tire for an AT tire. And in all honesty it’s definitely not worth that fuel economy loss. Yeah sure they look cool but now in my jeep grand Cherokee V6, I struggle to get 21 miles per gallon on the highway when on the OE tires I could easily get 25. That really adds up to a lot of Extra fuel
I have 20" Ridge Grapplers on my 19' Grand Cherokee Limited Hemi. I'm around 25k miles now and it feels like when I'm in the highway around 50mph+ the front left tire seems... wobbly? Not sure if that's the correct term, but it feels like it isn't perfectly straight/weighted.
Tires are the most important thing. The Bridgestone Ecopias that came on my Overland were useless in snow. I was slipping and sliding in 2”.
Hope you have a better experience with the Outpost AT’s than I did. Just pulled them off my WK2 Grand Cherokee and disposed of them after 15K. Either way had substantial cracking and dry-rotting in-between treadblocks and violent shaking that went away with new Destination AT2’s.
