Has anyone tried 255/70/18 ? At 32" overall diameter but .4" more narrow than stock it seems like a winner. Doesn't even seem to be on the table as an option in all these threads though, am I missing something?

Yes, I have a set of 255/70/18's on Sahara wheels. Looks and works great but the tire selection is limited. See https://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f309/...tires-1263508/

I'm giving up about 0.4" of tire width, but in my opinion the 32" tire size looks great on the WK2. I have no issues with clearance (have QL. checked on all settings). I don't think I'd have issues with a 275/65/18 either (don't quote me on that though....)

265/70-18's on Sahara Wheels
Has anyone tried a 285/70-18 on Sahara 7.5x18 wheels, or any other wheel for that matter? I know the 255/70-18 will clear and these are only .5" taller and less than .5" wider but to much is still to much. What do you think?

Winter wheels & Tires
Hello all. First post for me. Looks like a great forum.
Just picked up a 2012 Grand Cherokee Limited in BC. As I travel through mountain passes on a regular basis and need 4 wheel drive to get up my 750 meter driveway for four months of the year, I would like to get a set of winter wheels and tires to replace the stock Michelin Latitude Tour. I'm finding that aftermarket wheels are hard to come by due to the new bolt patern/size and offset. Any suggestions? Has anyone had experience with the Latitude Tour in winter condidtions? Thanks in advance.

I drove in a 8" snowstorm here in Denver with the Latitude Tours and they worked just fine, but I wasn't going up any extreme grades on hills. The snow mode really helps it seems. You might want to give them a shot and if they aren't cutting it, then change them out.

Tire rack, you put your vehicle in and it picks the wheels and tires that fit.

I see several sets of the 18" Laredo X painted version of the Limited Wheels on e-Bay and our local Craigslist. That is the direction I would go personally, and keep it looking nice and stock even in the winter. The factory wheels will hold up to salt and road chemicals better than any steel or aftermarket alloys, in my opinion. I would also spring for adding TPMS sensors if you are going to have a winter set and a summer set of wheels & tires. Otherwise, you will have to look at a TPMS error code on the EVIC all winter long. For tires, I always find the best prices at Discount Tire for all brands.
My Latitudes are working fine for Minnesota/Wisconsin ice and snow for me. Not planning to get a 2nd set for winter and not planning on off-roading. But your needs seem quite a bit more extreme. Best luck.

I travel mountain passes regularly, through long winters with heavy snow. Bridgestone Blizzaks have been terrific for me, have had 'em on two Subarus and a previous Jeep. I get them from Tire Rack, shipped to my door. For the Grand Cherokee, I ordered the package, of tires, wheels, and TPMS sensors all mounted and balanced, just had to put them on.
I would bet that any of the major brands' "studless" winter tires would be good. I'll keep the OEM Latitudes on the factory wheels for summer use.

I ordered a set of rims and winter tires from TireRack, didnt have any issues. When they were delivered, all i had to do was unwrap and bolt them on.
How are the Duratracs wearing? Any regrets? Feedback after 8 months? Thinking of going with these on my 2007 GC CRD with 18" wheels. Im thinking 70 aspect ratio and may do a budget boost to fit them.
