Picked up a 2012 liberty sport 4x4 with 65,000 a few weeks ago. Loving it so far. Installed a hitch and tow wiring, and an oil change so far. Then drove it 2,000 miles from California to Alabama towing a trailer. Ended up driving through a ice storm in texas and crashing. A gust of wind caused the trailer to sway and it lost traction on the ice. Ended up jackknifing and making the jeep spin and loose traction. Slid backwards into the dirt median, the trailer flipped and inbeded the tongue of the trailer into the rear hatch. Thank God we didnt flip or get hurt. Still waiting for the insurance to contact us about fixing it. Crazy drive. Ice sucks |

This is the rear after it was fixed after the accident. The day we picked it up. |

That's quite the story! Glad it all worked out in the end. Maybe some better tires are in your future. Good to hear you and your wife didn't get hurt. |

The stock tires are horrible! I've had a little incident as well. Literally any all terrain tire will be a million times better in incliment weather. If you can afford it, I'd suggest the factory fog lights or an aftermarket route for mounting fogs elsewhere. |

crazy that the stock tire would have such poor quality in performance while on the road. |

Ive had pretty good luck with firestone all terrains on and off road. If you drive often and far in winter id recomend a more sutible tire then that junk you've got on. Those goodyear tires are complete crap on any car. |
