One unavoidable issue towing our Jeep Liberty with stock wheels and tire size, is front tire damage. Our neighbor with a huge diesel pusher experiences the same thing towing his Chevy SUV. The inside of the tow vehicle's front tires get bald quickly when making sharp turns with the motorhome. I try to avoid making sharp turns, but this past trip, it was unavoidable many times. Our Liberty's tires are nearing the end of life anyway so it's no great loss, but I was worried that we might have tire trouble getting home. Fortunately it did not get so bad that the steel belts started to show.
Gix, If your Jeep tires stick out further than stock (which your picture implies) I believe the balding condition will be amplified. As I see it, the only way around the tire wear problem is to use a tow dolly or trailer. I suppose you could have dedicated front towing tires to change out once at your destination. Or do as I do and rotate the tires with every trip, and replace them prematurely when it's time.
I have two sets of Liberty tires, one set for trips and the other set for home. This is primarily for Irene's comfort. The tire wear is "choppy" which makes them very loud. So back at home with a nice set mounted, Irene enjoys a much less noisy Liberty.
