My name is Eric, and I'm gald to be of service. sstenner, you mentioned something about blonde hair, I'm guessing that makes you of the opposite persuation... Wink, wink...
Anyway, I have an 03 Freedom Edition Liberty with 17" wheels. I did tons of research because I wanted slightly better, slightly more aggressive, and slightly bigger tires than what came stock.
I found the BridgeStone Revo's to be the best. I used to be able to spin tire like it was going out of style when the roads were wet. I can't even break these babies loose. Not even when I'm on an incline, and I gun it at a stop sign with wet pavement. They are great, they don't make any noise, they are fantastic on and off road, and they fit.
Here is the scoop. I wanted the 265/65R17 tire size that I saw on TireRack.com. The only place that even believed that BridgeStone made them in the that size was the bridgestone service shop. Everyone else kept telling me Bridgestone didn't make that tire in that size. 265/65R17 will most likely not fit without a 2.5" lift, but after I installed the lift, they fit without doing any front wheel-well modifications. No pounding of the pinch weld, not reshaping of the wheel well liner. Nothing.
Long story short, go with a set of BridgeStone Revo's. They also make that tire in 255/65R17, and I think maybe even 245/65R17. 255/65R17 may fit without any type of lift, the 265's were close... But you will have to go to a Bridgestone dealer and ask for them specifically for those sizes. The good thing is that they well match any price that you find online. So, print out the price that tire rack has for that tire in a comperable size, and take it with you.
Hope I was able to help. If you want to see what the BridgeStone Revo's look like on an 03 Freedom Edition Liberty, check out my pictures.
