Front 3 Quarter

amazing color!

As soon as I saw it, I had to have it. I was having trouble getting in and out of my 2011 Nitro. Failed back surgery. I went into my dealer to ask if they could go to the auction and find me a 2010 Jeep Commander Limited or Overland, the only stipulation being it had to have QDII. But, then I saw this beauty and had to have it. Now, I'm second guessing my decision not getting AWD with all the snow. I have read a lot on the forum that the Khumos are crap, so maybe I'll just change the tires. I have a couple of threads/posts started concerning the largest diameter tire that will fit on a 19" wheel without rubbing.

We had no issues with snow last year. FWD Crew with 19" Kumho's . My 300M with 17" Michelins is a little more sure-footed in snow but we had no problem getting around last year with the Journey. Nice color!

Thank you for the compliment. My last 3 vehicles were silver, so this is not normal for me! This is the first non-4WD drive that I have had in over 20 years. I am considering swapping out the Khumos for a set of Bridgestones, This winter is supposed to be bad again. So much for global warming. Maybe I'll try out the tires for a while, and then decide if I need to change them. I went down to my dealer last week and they had a couple of Crossroads - one exactly like mine; but all were all FWD. Not an AWD to be seen! Thank you for the heads up. Time will tell.

My Dealer said that he could install snow tires for around $600, but he wanted to mount 4. Why not just 2 in the front?

Appropriate winter tires contribute more to safe winter driving on FWD, then AWD on crappy all seasons or summer tires.

There are many answers on the web on why not to replace only two tires, so just google it Better not to replace tires at all, then only two, IMHO.

And yes - very, very nice color choice! I saw RAM 1500 RT in this color - the truck looked absolutely amazing. Your drive is very nice as well.

Again, thank you for the compliment. So far, I have added the cross bars, a Mopar rubber mat to cover the third row seats, and the S/S door sills. Not much out there for accessories!

I will do some research on the tires. As long as all 4 are the same diameter, I don't see any issues, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the heads up.

I finally left the Nitro Forum last week. It was my "home" for the past 3 years! LOL
