2022 Jeep Cherokee Tires

From its modern technology to its impressive capability, the Jeep Cherokee is a powerhouse of performance. The Cherokee has exceptional capability under a variety of road and weather conditions, making it an awesome SUV for off roading. But all these off-roading features go null and void without the proper tires and tire maintenance. If you want to learn how to properly maintain your Jeep through tire service, keep reading.

2022 Jeep Cherokee Tire Size

When the time comes that you need new tires, it is important to know the correct tire size to outfit your Jeep with. The 2022 Jeep Cherokee has different tire sizes for each trim. The different trims and their corresponding tire sizes are:

• Latitude LUX 4×4: 225/65R17
• Latitude LUX FWD: 225/60R17
• Limited 4×4: 225/60R18, 235/50R19
• Trailhawk 4×4: 245/65R17
• X 4×4: 245/65R17

How to Read Tire Sizes

If you’re unfamiliar with how to read tire sizes, follow these steps:

1. Check if there is a letter at the beginning. P will indicate that it is a passenger vehicle tire that meets U.S. Tire and Rim Association standards. LT means it is a light truck tire that meets the U.S. Tire and Rim Association standards.
2. Look at the three-digit number at the beginning of the code. This indicates the tire section width from sidewall to sidewall in millimeters.
3. Read the next 2 digits. This is the aspect ratio, which is the height-to-width measurement. For example, if the size aspect ratio is 60, that means the tire is 60% as high as it is wide.
4. The next part is the construction code. This is indicated by either R or D. R means radial ply construction, and D means diagonal or bias ply construction.
5. The next number is the rim diameter. This is the diameter of the wheel in inches.

For example, the tire size for the Trailhawk 4×4, 245/65R17, would have a 245 mm. tire width, 65% aspect ratio, radial ply construction, and a 17 in. diameter wheel.
If you’re still not sure which tire size to buy, the best option is to go with tires that have the same TPC Spec (tire performance criteria specification) as the OEM tires. These will function best with the performance of the vehicle, including braking, handling, traction control, and tire pressure monitoring performance. To check this, look at the OEM tire’s sidewall, where the TPC Spec number will be.
A certified service advisor at Dan Cummins Auto Group would be more than happy to do this process for you.

Jeep Cherokee Tire Type

Depending on the road and weather conditions that you typically drive in, you may need tires made for those conditions.
The Jeep Cherokee may come with one of two tire types: all-season tires or summer tires. All season tires are great for most Kentucky weather conditions – they provide traction in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. They can be identified by a M+S, M&S, M/S, or MS designation on the tire sidewall. Jeep recommends only using all-season tires in sets of four.
Summer tires provide traction in wet and dry conditions, but not on snow or ice. If it’s a particularly cold winter in Kentucky, Jeep recommends installing snow tires. Snow tires can be identified by a mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire sidewall. If you install snow tires, be sure to use tires equivalent in size and type to the OEM tires and only replace them in sets of four.

How to Check Jeep Cherokee Tire Pressure

To ensure your tires stay at the proper inflation, you should check the tire pressure at least once a month, including the spare tire pressure.
You can check your Jeep Cherokee’s tire pressure by following these steps:

Also, if your tire pressure monitoring system’s warning light turns on, you should pull over immediately and check the tire pressure. If you do not, the tires could overheat, which could lead to tire failure and potentially an accident.

Jeep Cherokee Tire Rotation Importance

The Jeep Cherokee’s tires operate at different loads and perform different steering, handling, and braking functions, which make them wear unequally. These effects can be reduced by rotating the tires routinely. Regular rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.

When to Rotate the Tires on Your Jeep Cherokee

The Jeep Cherokee has an oil change indicator system which goes off on a regular basis to notify you when it’s time to take your Cherokee in for service. As soon as this light goes off, you should rotate the tires. In addition, every time you notice any irregular wear, you should rotate the tires. If the uneven wear continues, you should come to get your tires inspected, as you may need an alignment.
