The right Jeep Cherokee tires depend on the generation. The 2014-2023 KL Cherokee uses 17-, 18- or 19-inch sizes such as 225/65R17 and 225/60R18, while the 1984-2001 XJ Cherokee uses 15- or 16-inch sizes such as 215/75R15 and 225/75R15. Three picks below fit the KL, three fit the XJ, and one is a 16-inch size that suits few Cherokees.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Travelstar Ecopath AT LT225/75R16 (Check Fit First)
This set of four is a 16-inch light-truck size. The KL Cherokee does not use 16-inch wheels, and the XJ listed 225/70R16 only on some 2000-2001 trims, so this size is about 3 percent taller than that factory size. It suits a Cherokee only if you already run 16-inch wheels, and you should confirm clearance first. The listing mentions Load Range E and a 50,000-mile tread warranty with three-year road hazard coverage; read the terms before relying on them.- Tire Size:LT225/75R16
- Type:All-terrain
- Load Range:E (per listing)
- Tread:Symmetrical (per listing)
- Pack:Four tires, no wheels
Pros
- Four-tire set in one order
- Load Range E construction per the listing
Limitations
- Not a standard KL size and a non-standard XJ size
- Taller than the 225/70R16 some XJs used
- Warranty terms not confirmed here
Forceum Penta All-Season 225/65R17
225/65R17 is the factory size for 4×4 Latitude and Sport trims of the KL, so this four-tire set suits those Cherokees. The listing describes an asymmetric tread, a 106H rating and XL load range. Front-wheel-drive KL trims use 225/60R17, so check your placard.- Tire Size:225/65R17
- Season:All-season
- Load Range:XL (per listing)
- Speed Rating:H
- Tread:Asymmetric (per listing)
Pros
- Matches a factory KL 4×4 size

Evoluxx Capricorn 4X4 All-Season 225/60R18
225/60R18 is the factory size for 4×4 Limited, Overland and Altitude trims of the KL. This four-tire set carries an H speed rating and, per the listing, a 55,000-mile tread warranty. Warranties have conditions such as rotation records, so read them. Front-wheel-drive 18-inch trims use 225/55R18.- Tire Size:225/60R18
- Season:All-season
- Load Range:SL (per listing)
- Speed Rating:H
- Warranty:55,000 miles (per listing)

- Lesser-known brand
- Warranty conditions apply
Fullway PC369 All-Season 225/65R17
Same 225/65R17 size as the Forceum Penta, aimed at a lower price. The listing gives a 102H rating, a symmetrical tread and a 380AA UTQG grade. Treat the listing as the source for those figures, and match the size to your placard rather than assuming it fits every trim.- Tire Size:225/65R17
- Season:All-season
- Load Range:SL (per listing)
- Speed Rating:H
- UTQG:380AA (per listing)
Pros
- Matches a factory KL 4×4 size

Finalist Terreno A/T 235/75R15
A 15-inch size for the XJ, about 2 percent taller than the 225/75R15 many XJs used. It will not fit a KL. The listing mentions a 109 load index, an S speed rating, a 50,000-mile tread warranty and three-year road hazard coverage. Check wheel width and fender clearance on your own XJ.- Tire Size:235/75R15
- Type:All-terrain
- Load Range:XL (per listing)
- Speed Rating:S
- Warranty:50,000 miles (per listing)

Lexani Terrain Beast AT 215/75R15
215/75R15 is a factory size on several XJ trims, including the SE through 2001. This is a single all-terrain tire rated 100T, so check how many tires the listing includes. It will not fit a KL Cherokee.- Tire Size:215/75R15
- Load Index:100 (1,764 lb)
- Speed Rating:T
- Type:All-terrain
- Tread:Non-directional (per listing)
Pros

Forceum M/T 08 Plus LT235/75R15
A mud-terrain LT size for off-road XJs on 15-inch wheels. The listing gives a 104/101Q rating and 6-ply Load Range C. Mud-terrains are louder and wear faster on pavement, so choose them only if you drive mostly off-road. It will not fit a KL.- Tire Size:LT235/75R15
- Type:Mud-terrain
- Load Range:C (per listing)
- Load Index:104/101 (per listing)
- Speed Rating:Q
Pros

Jeep Cherokee tires: which size fits your year
Factory sizes vary by year, trim and drivetrain, so treat this as a guide and check your placard or owner’s manual.
- 2014-2023 KL Cherokee: 225/65R17 (4×4 Latitude and Sport), 225/60R17 (front-wheel drive), 245/65R17 (Trailhawk), 225/60R18 (4×4 Limited and Overland), 225/55R18 (front-wheel drive) and 235/50R19 on some 2019-2022 trims.
- 1984-2001 XJ Cherokee: mostly 15-inch sizes such as 205/75R15, 215/75R15, 225/75R15 and 225/70R15, with 225/70R16 on some 2000-2001 trims.

Fit checklist
- Read the size, load index and speed rating on the door-jamb sticker. See how to read the door-jamb tire sticker.
- Match the rim diameter exactly. A 15-inch tire will not fit a KL, and a 17-inch tire will not fit a 15-inch XJ wheel.
- Stay close to the stock overall diameter. Going larger can rub and throw off the speedometer.
- Replace tires in sets of four on all-wheel and four-wheel drive, or follow your manual on tread-depth differences.
- For snow and ice, look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol. Compare other Jeep tire picks and 225/65R17 all-season tires.
FAQ
What size tires does a Jeep Cherokee take?
It depends on the generation and trim. The 2014-2023 KL commonly uses 225/65R17, 225/60R18 or 245/65R17 (Trailhawk), while XJ Cherokees used 15-inch sizes such as 215/75R15 and 225/75R15. Use your door-jamb placard as the final word.
Do these tires fit a 2014-2023 Jeep Cherokee?
The Forceum Penta, Fullway PC369 and Evoluxx Capricorn are in KL factory sizes. The other four listings are 15- or 16-inch sizes and do not fit a KL.
Do these tires fit an older XJ Cherokee?
The Lexani 215/75R15, Finalist 235/75R15 and Forceum LT235/75R15 are 15-inch sizes used or commonly fitted on the XJ. Check wheel width and clearance first.
Should I replace all four tires on an AWD Cherokee?
Usually yes, or at least replace in pairs with matching tires. Mismatched tread depth can strain the drivetrain, so follow your owner’s manual.
Are all-terrain tires worth it on a Cherokee?
Only if you drive on gravel or trails. Expect more road noise and slightly lower fuel economy than an all-season tire.
How often should I rotate Cherokee tires?
Follow the interval in your owner’s manual. Many shops suggest rotating every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
Which one to choose
For a 2014-2023 KL with 17-inch wheels, the Forceum Penta or Fullway PC369 are the size matches; with 18-inch 4×4 wheels, the Evoluxx. For an XJ on 15-inch wheels, the Lexani 215/75R15 is the closest to factory, and the Finalist and Forceum are upsized options. Confirm size, load index and quantity on the listing before you order.
