I've read some test on cherokee srt8 vs range sport, I was surprised that range rover's stopping performance is better than cherokee's. In the end they explain it with the tire difference. Since the cherokee srt8 comes on all season tires and range rover sport comes on racing tires already. What are the best performance tires to put on my cherokee srt8 to improve my stopping performance to maximum. Maybe some yokohama or else?

I use BFGoodrich KDW-2's on my Whipple Supercharged Suburban, Stage 3 SRT-4 and my mom's Hummer H3. They work great and handling is fantastic out of them. However no bueno in the snow.

Do you plan to do many "hard" or emergency stops? That is how they do the testing, you know? Also, if you go to a stickier compound your milage and tire wear will be severely impacted. Just FYI...

Don't forget that you need to run run-flat tires or risk being stranded. ;)

I can't believe how well the SRT stops now - its hard to believe its worth spending money to improve the stopping

Ink Pump - outstanding signature!
pcg - first research what tires come in a size to fit our rims, this will drastically narrow your search. Of course any "Summer Only" tire will perform better than our Goodyears, just like any "Winter Only" tire will be better in the snow. But all around the stockers do pretty well in both.

The Conti 4X4 Contact tires of the supercharged Range Rover are NOT racing tires. They are all season performance tires just like the ones on the GC SRT8. The stopping distances between the GC SRT8 & the RR HSE S/C are only 4-5 feet apart. Not really significant in the real world, but both are impressive performers stopping from 0-60 in 115 to 120 feet.
