Help wanted with car/tires purchase decision
Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2015 1:21 pm
Hi folks,
Would appreciate some help and tips on the following: I'm currently thinking about buying the new Grand Cherokee in the "Overland" trim. But all the Overlands come with tires in 265/50R20 dimensions.
My question is, would these tires still perform ok in the desert? I'm a little concerned about the smaller sidewall height and hence less ability to decrease pressure and glide over the sand.
My sand driving is pretty limited and I probably do 98% of my mileage on the road. However, when I do want to go for a desert BBQ I don't want to at stuck.
Thanks a lot
PS: I don't need answers like "buy a Land Cruiser instead"...
