Tyre Talk

Looking at replacing the tyres on our WK Jeep they are 245/65 R17 the existing ones are Cooper A/T they are very noisy especially on some concrete surfaces. Also the sidewalls seem very soft and are showing white on both nearside tyres from previous owners scuffing - not cord but looks odd. The tyres have raised white lettering.

At the moment I like the Vredstein Quadrac 5 and the General Grabber GT I want all season road use tyres not chunky block treads like the existing tyres.

Anyone here got any suggestions or experience of the above makes ?

Most important is low road noise & wet grip I have looked online and am getting more confused!
