[Shotimes] OT- seeking advice on SUV tires

[Steve Tatro]

I put those same Bridgestones on my wife's SUV almost a year ago, and we've
been very happy with them.

Wet performance has been very good.

I would only get these (or even the Michelins you mention) if you plan on
doing VERY light offroading.  Neither of these is a true offroad tire, as
I'm sure you're aware.

The Duelers aren't the quietest tire, although they are a bit better than
the OEM Goodyears that I replaced.  I would imagine the Michelins are
better, but obviously are much more expensive!

My opinion, the Duelers are a good value for the money.  Sure you can spend
more on the Michelins, but do you want to?  That's a question only you can
answer!

Good luck,

My wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee needs new tires (245/70-16).  I'm considering
the following tires and would like to hear from anyone who has experience
with either of them.  This vehicle is driven mostly on pavement but does go
offroad some (just think, an SUV that DOES go offroad!), but is almost never
driven on snow.

Bridgestone Deuler H/L

Michelin Cross Terrain SUV

Both of these have good ratings on tirerack, the Michelin is even higher
rated than the Bridgestone, but is also significantly more expensive.
