Jeep Liberty Tires

The Jeep Liberty is a boxy, practical midsize crossover SUV that’s offered from model years 2002 to 2012 and features two generations of designs. The Liberty was priced between the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee, and was available with a robust V6 engine, a nice list of standard features and your choice of Jet, Limited, and Sport trim levels. The first-generation Liberty had a distinctively Jeep look to it (with, of course, the traditional nine-vertical-bar grille that’s on every Jeep model since WWII), while the redesigned second generation was more angular and had a closer family resemblance to the Dodge Nitro. More upscale versions of the Liberty were available with rain-sensing wipers, navigation, satellite radio, and a built-in hard drive for music while standard features included vehicle stability control, ABS brakes, and traction control. Most Jeep Liberty models were equipped with four-wheel-drive, and Liberty was replaced in the Jeep lineup by the next-generation version of the Cherokee.

At SimpleTire, we rounded up some great tire choices for your Jeep Liberty, including all-season, all-terrain, and winter tires (including more affordable options):

1. Goodyear Assurance MaxLife - Best all-season tire

First up is the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife, an all-season tire that’s designed for year-round traction, sharp performance, and the kind of value and quality you’ve come to expect from Goodyear products. The MaxLife lives up to its name – it’s an extremely durable tire that’s designed with Goodyear’s TredLife system, including a long-wearing tread formulation and robust internal construction. Goodyear stands behind the Assurance MaxLife with a phenomenal 85,000 mile manufacturer’s tread life warranty, which is enough for us to award it a SimpleScore of 9.9 for longevity. Handling is crisp and responsive thanks to a solid center rib that enhances steering response, semi-closed shoulders, sticky tread formula, and a polyamide reinforcement layer, earning a SimpleScore of 9.5 for handling. Traction comes from a network of sipes with circumferential grooves, angled and lateral grooves that all work together to resist hydroplaning and deliver confident cornering in wet or dry weather, bringing home a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction.

2. Toyo Open Country A/T III - Best all-terrain tire

If you’re like most drivers of 4WD trucks and SUVs, you’re looking for an all-terrain tire that will deliver dependable traction and durability off-road in sand, snow, mud, or rocks without sacrificing the low noise, responsive handling, good road manners, and forgiving ride you’d expect from an all-season tire. The Toyo Open Country A/T III is an all-terrain tire that can check all those boxes with ease. Toyo starts off with a polyester casing, two steel belts, and a spiral wrap polyamide cap layer with a cut-and-chip resistant tread compound, backed by a 65,000 mile manufacturer tread life warranty, which is enough for SimpleTire to give the Open Country A/T III a very respectable SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity. Traction comes from a symmetric all-terrain tread with extra tread depth and a high void ratio, making it easy to eject stones, mud and debris so there’s always a clear section of tire to dig in. The Toyo Open Country A/T III is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service (SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction). The shoulder design, sipe pattern, and stable internal construction of the Open Country A/T III add up to surprisingly competent handling and cornering, for a SimpleScore of 9.3. All in all, the Toyo Open Country A/T III is a really capable all-terrain tire for your Jeep Liberty, with equally strong performance on pavement.

3. Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV - Best winter tire

Our #1 pick for a winter tire for the Jeep Liberty is the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV. Nokian is a Finnish company that specializes in winter tires that can stand up to the demands of a Scandinavian winter, and “Hakkapeliitta” is Finnish for their 16th century cavalry troops (there’s your trivia for the day). We’ve been fans of this tire for some time – it’s pre-drilled for easy installation of studs in case of ice (check your local and state laws for legality of studded tires), with a stud pattern that’s optimized for the best traction while keeping noise low. Its directional winter tread is designed with angled, sweeping grooves, a dense pattern of sipes, and a sticky winter rubber formulation for the worst snow and slush, earning a SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction. Not surprisingly, this tire gets the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service. Durability is also excellent, with an Aramid-reinforced sidewall, tough internal construction and an eco-friendly tread formulation that stays flexible in subfreezing weather (SimpleScore of 9.1 for longevity). Those stiffer sidewalls also enhance control for braking and cornering, earning a SimpleScore of 8.9 for handling. The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV is also designed for low rolling resistance, saving fuel over the tire’s service life.

4. Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail - Great all-terrain tire

Next up is the Wildpeak A/T Trail from Falken, an affordable option in an all-terrain tire. The Wildpeak A/T Trail is a next-generation all-terrain tire that’s exceptionally tough and capable in off-road situations without sacrificing the performance and civilized behavior you’d hope for on a long interstate trip or your daily commute. Durability comes from a damage-resistant tread compound and upper-sidewall lugs that guard against damage from rocks and debris. Falken backs the Wildpeak A/T Trail with a 65,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty (excellent for an all-terrain model), and we award it a SimpleScore rating of 9.5 for longevity. Traction is strong, thanks to aggressive tread blocks, deep angled and lateral grooves, and a dense network of sipes, bringing home a solid 9.2 SimpleScore for traction. Falken tuned the Wildpeak A/T Trail specifically for the properties of crossovers and SUVs, with a high-silica tread compound for great wet-weather traction; the tread pattern, shoulder design, and internal construction all contribute to a SimpleScore of 9.1 for handling. Additionally, the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service.

5. Nexen N5000 Platinum - Good all-season tire

Now we come to the N5000 Platinum from Nexen – we’ve been fans of Nexen tires for some time and feel that they represent a great value across their product line. The N5000 Platinum is just a great all-around all-season tire for SUVs and crossovers, the kind of tire that you can depend on to do most things well. It delivers great year-round traction with an all-season tread that features circumferential grooves and a network of sipes (SimpleScore of 8.6 for traction) and is covered by a 70,000 mile manufacturer’s tread life warranty (SimpleScore of 9.5 for longevity). Handling is also topnotch, thanks to its shoulder design, tread compound and sidewall construction (SimpleScore of 8.6). It’s also worth noting that the Nexen N5000 Platinum enhances fuel economy thanks to low rolling resistance.
