New Tires for New Jeep Owner

[badkittystt]

I just bought my first jeep, a 2006 liberty 4wd gas engine, and by the look of it I'm going to need new tires soon. In all my previous cars I would just go to any tire place and get the cheapest tires that fit my car, but I want the jeep to get some better treatment than that.

I live on a small island with lots of hills, this car will probably never go over 50mph, and will be doing occasional of roading on pretty steep hills to visit a few of my favorite beaches.

My question is, without going completely crazy and staying on a decent budget, should I be looking into specialty tires? I'm not looking for a lift, just a reasonable and responsible replacement for the tires that came on the car. And no, I don't know what's on there now but I bought it from a rental agency so I'm sure they're nothing fancy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm been using the General Grabber AT2's with gret results. They handle very well on and offroad. And they are not that expensive. They come in 3 different load ranges depending on the size.

Thanks Kevin! I'll put those on my wish list!

Any good A/T will work. General Grabbers-AT 2 should work for your usage like Moab said.
