I just got a set of Dunlop Rover A/T 235/70-16 I spent a couple of week shopping and got these installed with alignment for $589.00. Now that I've spent my money I'm asking after the fact any feed back on these tires??? I will be a while till I can afford a lift or any major mod's for my little blue beastie but I do want to know how good or bad I did on this I've never off roaded before but I bought these tires because it had Goodyear Futura street tires and I decided it was a Jeep get tires for a Jeep. As I said I'm just getting started and I have already learned so much from L.O.S.T. that I spend most of my free computer time here instead of any other web Site keep it Going!!! 8)

I'd consider some type of A/T a minimum on any Jeep, in my opinion. That's a Jeep I'd drive anyway 8)
You'll like driving in the Colorado snow more now, compared to with those street tires. You'll also enjoy most the trails around here, but not if it's wet and muddy! Most A/T don't do so good in the mud, due to a lack of self-cleaning. Watch out for the gooey stuff, it's easy to get stuck in even with mud-terrain tires.
About those specific tires, I've only seen them on a vehicle once. It was a Wrangler, and we were driving around town in the snow. They slipped less than my M/Ts did, but in the deep stuff they didn't seem to 'pull through' as much. Neither of us ever got stuck (deep snow on the street), but I was jealous of his Wrangler's assured handling on plowed but still wet and snow-patched surfaces.
It isn't an MT/R (read: awesome), but you'll probably like them 99% of the time.

Good Tire...MUCH BETTER than stock...you should concentrate on armor next(tranny especially)...then lift
