Katmandu,
For what it's worth, they will probably be better than the GY Fortera (sp?) that came with the jeep. I wanted Destination ATs for my 18 inch rims and the smallest size 18 inch tires from FS was 255/70/18. Gave me an excuse to do a 2.5 lift.
That's what I'm hoping for. My wife is tired of sliding on the wet roads while cornering with the Forteras.
I too wanted the Destination ATs real bad for this Liberty. We had them on our 2005 KJ and loved them. They went with trade when we bought this one. They were 16s.. this one has 18s.
Anyways, It's her Jeep and it will never be off-roaded (until it's handed down to me!), towing anything or loaded down with heavy cargo. It's main use in life will be her shopping around locally and short commute (20 mile both ways) vehicle and once a year 700 mile road trip. She only put 50,000 miles in (7) years on her KJ.
I'm hoping the Michelin will work out for her. They have the best rating on wet roads...
