Exact size of tire for my CJ5

I would like to buy new tires, I have difficulties to understand what size must I choose.
My speed is not over 80 KM/H I need a tire efficient on wet road because the CJ5 is not so easy to drive in curbs on wet soil as lot of drivers know. I don't need wide tires, I don't drive off road. My tires are old Michelin, difficult to understand the size.
Thanks for help.

 

To be honest I really like the Michelins you have on there! First thing is the rim size, are those 15 or 16 inch? Personally on a stock Jeep like yours for every day driving, I would go with a 235/75-15 BF Goodrich (Owned by Michelin) All terrain. Great all around tire and fairly common.

I think this is what you are looking for (explains the numbers)

I like them too, but they are very old with cracks. On wet road thay are not very sticky it is like skiing.

 

That's lot of reading. I'll take time.
There are many prices but many differences of quality. I want the good model. The cheapest is not obviously the best.

 

Grab a tape measure and measure the tires you have now. What is the outside diameter as well as the width of the tire? What is the diameter of the rim?
With that info, we can figure out something pretty close to what you have now.

 

Haha, yeah I understand.. Anyway Alan, figure out the rim size first, diameter and width, and then you can make a good choice. Hopefully they are 15" diameter, that will open up your choices. If it's a 16" it will be a bit harder.
