I have a 4.7 Jeep GC that is currently on Goodyear Wrangler HP M+S all season tyres (245 70 16).

The spare is not usable and one of the rears is close to the marker. With this in mind, I was planning on changing two tyres (and using the current rear as the spare). So the questions are:

What tyres would you replace them with?

Is it worth putting larger profiles on?

How do all season perform compared to the other options (I'm a novice at this 4x4 lark and want to feel smug at gymkhanas / if it snows)?

can you run all season tyres on one axle and, for example, mud on the other or would there be adverse affects?

Lastly, if the consensus is to change all four - I was considering getting some new wheels off Ebay with the tyres and changing for winter / summer - does anyone know which manufactures wheels will fit as standard?

Cheers
D&C

Another vote for BFG ATs. I've found them great on and off road on my Cherokee.

My only problem with the BF Ats is that the BFG Muds are SOOO good onroad too. I used to run Hi.Luxes for a major petro chemical co and would cover 60k miles per year. A lot of it was offroad and hard going but the tyres were superb, and, while expensive to inmitally buy, they would last over 50k miles too.

I know where there are four GC alloys with almost new General AT2 245/70x16 tyres on in Surrey.
