Are the stock tires seriously that horrible? Either i am driving like an booty or these tires are darn near unsafe. They barely grip the road if it is even the slightest bit wet and i feel like im going to die lol. I still have a good 1/4 inch of tread on all tires... |

They are really bad once the tread starts to go. |

I've had mine now for a little over 2 years, and almost 40,000kms (25,000miles)... and really, I've only had one incident with em.... Assuming of course THESE are the tires everyone's complaining about: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Fortera+HL+Edition&partnum=36TR8FORTHL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Jeep&autoYear=2008&autoModel=Liberty&autoModClar=Limited%204wd I was coming home from a ski trip, going up a hill on the highway at about 110km/h - the transmission downshifted to keep up it's speed, and the back wheels broke loose on black ice. Typical city driving? even pretty decent snowstorms in the winter.... I really don't have too much to complain about.... |

that is not the same tire that was stock on my 08 KK Sport. I had a quite a few flat tires with mine, even ended up ruining one and replacing it, but got almost 50K miles out of them before I got new tires. |

OOOOOoooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh... Gotcha. Those are the stock tires with the 16 & 17" wheels I believe. With the 18's (on a Ltd.) the stockers are GoodYear Forteras..... I understand now...

yes they do suck in all regards. Make the road feel really rough, handle like crap, you can't corner without feeling nervous, terrible wet traction (didn't keep them long enough to see snow). I always tell people to sell them for whatever they can get immediately and get another high rated but relatively cheap all-season tire. Not one person I've told has listened... |

I didn't completely understand how bad the stock tires are until I got stuck here:  There's a little bit of a hill that doesn't really show up in the picture, but there was still no reason for me to get stuck. Now I can't wait until they wear out and I can get some better ones. |
