How we ranked these tires for the jeep commander
We started with the latest model-year's OEM tire size; 235/55R18; and filtered our catalog of 22,000+ tires to those offered in that exact size. From there, four parallel rankings:
- Best all-season ranks on a weighted score: tire type matches passenger car segment, season is "all-season", premium brand bonus (Michelin / Continental / Bridgestone / Pirelli / Goodyear / Nokian).
- Best budget ranks on cost-per-warranty-mile; the lower the better. Premium brands get no bonus here.
- Best quiet ranks on the EU tire-label dB rating; lower is quieter.
- Best winter filters to tires marked 3PMSF severe-snow rated or all-weather class, with a small premium-brand bonus because winter-compound R&D is capital-intensive.
For sedans and compacts, the all-season touring tire below is the best default; long warranty, low cabin noise, reasonable cost per mile. Switch to the quiet pick if highway droning is a deal-breaker; switch to the winter pick if you see significant snow each year. Use the side-by-side comparison above to weigh the trade-offs against your specific driving; highway-heavy, winter-state, performance-oriented, or budget-constrained.

In owners' own words
Verbatim excerpts from complaints filed with NHTSA about Jeep Commander. Reports are published by NHTSA as filed and are lightly cleaned here only to remove intake codes.
PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES ON 12/29/2010, MILEAGE WAS 41015. NOW MILEAGE IS NOW 77061, TIRE TREAD IS AT.3/32. TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED EVERY 5 - 6 K AND ALIGNMENTS PERFORMED. ALL TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY, THERE ARE SIGNS OF CRACKING AND STOPPING IN THE SNOW IS NOW A MAJOR HAZARD. THE WARRANTY IS FOR 60K AND WITH ONLY 35K THEY ARE READY FOR THE TRASH.
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMMANDER EQUIPPED WITH BF GOODRICH TIRES, TIRE LINE: RUGGED TERRAIN, TIRE SIZE: 245/65/17, DOT NUMBER: BF8T. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED A PUNCTURE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE THE TIRE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ALL THE OTHER TIRES SHOWED TREAD SEPARATION. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE LOCAL WALMART WHERE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED BUT WAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
ON MY 2006 JEEP COMMANDER I HAVE DEFECTIVE CORRODED TIRE VALVE STEMS WHICH ARE NOW CRACKED AND CAUSE THE TIRE TO CONSTANTLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE CAUSING AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE PROBLEM I AM TOLD IS DUE TO THE ALUMINUM VALVE STEM BEING CORRODED BY THE METAL VALVE STEM CAP. ALL IS ORIGINAL FACTORY PARTS. I AM AFRAID IF THE VALVE STEM COMPLETELY FAILS AND THE TIRE GOES FLAT WHILE DRIVING IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS AND IN FACT AT MY LAST SERVICE WHICH INCLUDED AN ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION DID NOT WANT TO PASS THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THE SITUATION WAS TO DANGEROUS BUT STILL REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS.
THE METAL VALVE STEM OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM CORRODES WHERE IT PASSES THROUGH THE WHEEL AND RESULTS IN UNEXPECTED SUDDEN LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. AMBER TPMS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE IS IMMEDIATELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL/STEER. ONCE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, AIR CAN BE HEARD AND FELT ESCAPING FROM VALVE STEM AREA ON WHEEL AND ONE CAN WATCH THE TIRE CONTINUE TO DEFLATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON MY VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS: 01-2009 AT 111,000 AND 05-2013 AT 219,000.
