Our van has over 90k miles on the original tires, and they've started being more prone to hydroplaning and losing grip from a stop. So before we start getting cold weather slipperiness, I ordered the 18" Grand Cherokee SRT8 "Spider Monkey" replica wheels I've been eyeing for a year or so, and a set of General AltiMax RT43 tires all mounted/balanced from CarID. This one is just propped up in place. It'll probably be a couple weeks before I can have the time to switch them out. I like them as much as I hoped I would. There are 20" and 22" versions of these, but they are all an inch or two wider, and that seemed like too much rubber. These are 235 tires as opposed to the stock 225 as it is, so I figured that's enough.

Thumbs up.

Our wheels are pretty bland...

I've toyed with something like this for the old RGC. :)

I think a lot of GM FWD wheels fit the 4th gens. I've seen Alero wheels on a T&C before.
