Default Need new tires for my wife's Grand Cherokee. Cleveland weather. . .

245/65/17

This is the first time replacing tires on her SUV and my first time dealing with anything other than a car. Any help would be much appreciated.

Original equipment: Goodyear Wrangler SR-A
(highway all-season)

See if Yoko TRZ comes in that size. Good on our CRV. All-seasons > LT tires.

I've found those off road tires not to be that great for snow and ice
