2017 Jeep Trucks Tire Fitment Guide

2017 Jeep Trucks vehicles use 19 sizes across six models: 225/60R17, 225/65R17, 225/55R18, 225/60R18, and 245/65R17 for Cherokee; 215/55R18, 215/65R17, 225/60R17, 205/70R16, 215/60R17, 225/55R18, 235/45R19, and 215/65R16 for Compass; 265/50R20, 265/60R18, 245/70R17, and 295/45R20 for Grand Cherokee; 215/60R17, 215/65R17, 225/60R17, and 205/70R16 for Patriot; 215/60R17, 215/65R16, 225/55R18, and 215/65R17 for Renegade; and 255/75R17, 255/70R18, 225/75R16, and 245/75R16 for Wrangler. Rim diameters span 16 through 20 inches, and the available rim-width guidance where product coverage exists runs from 5.50 inches to 8.0 inches depending on size.

That range means year and make alone are not enough for a correct choice on 2017 Jeep Trucks. The practical starting point is your model name, followed by the wheel diameter already on the vehicle, because many of these sizes are exclusive to one Jeep model while a few are shared among compact crossover applications. Once those two points are confirmed, you can compare sidewall style, road-oriented versus all-terrain character, and brand options within the correct size family.

On a 2017 Jeep Trucks tire, 225/60R17 is a metric radial size code. The 225 is the nominal section width in millimeters, 60 is the aspect ratio, the R means radial construction, and 17 is the wheel diameter in inches. That size appears on Cherokee, Compass, and Patriot, and the covered product in this size mounts on a 17-inch rim with a 6.5J width and carries a 99T marking, meaning a T speed rating with a 118 mph ceiling.

Understanding that code helps separate similar Jeep sizes that share the same wheel diameter but differ in height and width. A 225/60R17 is not interchangeable with a 225/65R17 or a 215/60R17 just because the rim diameter matches. If your 2017 Jeep Trucks model uses 225/60R17, verify the sidewall marking on the tire already on the vehicle and compare it to the wheel package before moving to a replacement.

No, 2017 Jeep Trucks models do not use the same tire size. Cherokee alone uses five sizes, Compass uses eight, Grand Cherokee uses four, Patriot uses four, Renegade uses four, and Wrangler uses four. Some sizes overlap among compact models, such as 225/60R17 for Cherokee, Compass, and Patriot, or 215/65R17 for Compass, Patriot, and Renegade, but many sizes belong to only one model, especially on Grand Cherokee and Wrangler.

That model-by-model split is why identifying the exact Jeep matters before comparing products. A buyer looking at a Cherokee, for example, may see 17-inch and 18-inch options, while a Wrangler owner may be choosing among taller 16-inch, 17-inch, or 18-inch all-terrain sizes. If you are unsure, check the tire sidewall currently on the vehicle and confirm the wheel diameter before treating any 2017 Jeep Trucks size as interchangeable.

Sidewall style varies quite a bit across the covered 2017 Jeep Trucks sizes that have product coverage. 225/60R17 appears with a narrow whitewall from Travelstar, 225/65R17 and 215/65R16 can be found in blackwall form, 245/65R17, 245/70R17, 225/75R16, and 245/75R16 use raised white letters, and 215/65R16 also appears in redline and wide whitewall versions. Those options create a mix of modern utility styling and more custom or nostalgic visual treatments.

For a 2017 Jeep Trucks buyer, sidewall choice is mostly about appearance and intended personality rather than originality in a strict antique sense. Raised white letters suit Wrangler and more rugged Jeep applications naturally, while whitewall or redline treatments can push Compass or Renegade toward a more customized look. Once the size is correct, compare sidewall style against how you use the vehicle and how closely you want the tire's appearance to match the Jeep's character.

Travelstar and BFGoodrich cover the 2017 Jeep Trucks sizes with available product range here. Travelstar appears in 225/60R17 with a narrow whitewall radial, while BFGoodrich covers 225/65R17, 245/65R17, 215/65R16, 245/70R17, 225/75R16, and 245/75R16. Within BFGoodrich, the offerings split between the more utility-focused All-Terrain T/A KO2 line and Silvertown Radial styles such as redline and wide whitewall in 215/65R16.

That means brand selection for 2017 Jeep Trucks often follows the size first, then the visual and use-case direction inside that size. A Wrangler or Grand Cherokee owner looking at taller all-terrain sizes will naturally see BFGoodrich options, while a Cherokee, Compass, or Patriot owner in 225/60R17 may be comparing a different look altogether. Confirm the exact sidewall marking and size on the vehicle before treating one brand's offering as a cross-size substitute.

For 2017 Jeep Trucks, the clearest direct comparison appears in 215/65R16. BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 in that size carries a 103S marking, a 1,930-pound load capacity at 65 psi, a 6.0 to 7.5-inch rim-width range, and an RBL sidewall, while BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial versions carry 1,565 pounds at 35 psi, fit 5.50 to 7.50-inch rims, and appear as either redline or wide whitewall. The KO2 also weighs more at 34 pounds, versus 25 pounds for the Silvertown Radials.

Those differences point to two distinct personalities inside the same 2017 Jeep Trucks size. The KO2 is the utility-oriented choice with an all-terrain character and higher rated load and pressure, while the Silvertown Radial choices lean more toward visual style with custom-oriented sidewall treatments. If your Compass or Renegade uses 215/65R16, decide first whether your priority is a rugged Jeep look or a more standout, style-driven appearance.

Rim-width guidance is size-specific on 2017 Jeep Trucks tires where product coverage exists. 225/60R17 uses a 6.5J rim, 225/65R17 fits 6.0 to 8.0 inches, 245/65R17 fits 7.0 to 8.0 inches, 215/65R16 fits either 6.0 to 7.5 inches or 5.50 to 7.50 inches depending on product, 245/70R17 fits 6.5 to 8.0 inches, 225/75R16 fits 6.0 to 7.0 inches, and 245/75R16 fits 6.5 to 8.0 inches. Those ranges should be treated by size, not borrowed across other Jeep applications.

The important takeaway for 2017 Jeep Trucks owners is that matching rim diameter alone is not enough. A 16-inch or 17-inch wheel still needs to fall within the proper width range for the exact tire size and product you choose. If your Jeep has aftermarket wheels or you are replacing tires on a vehicle with uncertain wheel history, verify the wheel width before final selection rather than assuming every same-diameter tire will fit the same rim.

The covered 2017 Jeep Trucks products are radial designs with standard modern size markings, and none of the size markings here carry a TT tube-type designation. That points to tubeless construction across the available covered products in 225/60R17, 225/65R17, 245/65R17, 215/65R16, 245/70R17, 225/75R16, and 245/75R16. Tube use is therefore not the normal starting assumption for these Jeep applications.

Even so, wheel condition still matters on 2017 Jeep Trucks, especially if the vehicle has seen hard use, corrosion, or wheel swaps. A sound tubeless wheel, a clean bead seat, and a healthy valve stem are just as important as the tire itself. If your Jeep is running non-original wheels or a specialty wheel style, confirm the wheel's tubeless suitability before installation rather than assuming the tire alone settles the question.

Original 2017 Jeep Trucks wheels cannot be treated as universal across all tire sizes because the range spans 16-, 17-, 18-, 19-, and 20-inch rim diameters. A Cherokee wheel package may share a diameter with some Compass or Patriot applications, but Grand Cherokee and Wrangler also bring their own model-specific sizes and proportions. Where rim-width guidance exists, it changes by size as well, from as narrow as 5.50 inches on some 215/65R16 applications to as wide as 8.0 inches on several larger sizes.

The practical answer is to match the original wheel only to the exact size family intended for that model and wheel package. If you are moving between sizes on the same Jeep, confirm both diameter and rim width before assuming compatibility. That is especially important when stepping from a road-oriented crossover fitment into a taller or wider all-terrain tire, since the wheel may share a diameter but still fall outside the preferred width range.

A stored 2017 Jeep Trucks should be kept in a cool, dry, dark space away from direct sunlight, electric motors, welders, furnaces, and other ozone sources that age rubber. Tires should be kept at proper pressure, the vehicle should be moved periodically to change the contact patch, and long-term static storage can benefit from tire cradles or stands if the Jeep will sit for extended periods. Those steps help prevent flat spotting, sidewall stress, and premature cosmetic cracking.

This matters even on modern radial Jeep sizes because collector and low-use vehicles often age their tires long before they wear them out. A Wrangler used seasonally and a garage-kept Grand Cherokee weekend vehicle both benefit from the same routine: clean storage conditions, stable inflation, and occasional movement. If the Jeep spends months parked, add a quick pressure check before returning it to road use rather than assuming the tires held condition perfectly during storage.

Tires on a 2017 Jeep Trucks should be judged by age as much as by tread depth, especially on low-mileage enthusiast or secondary-use vehicles. A sound rule is to begin close evaluation at about five to seven years of service and to treat around ten years from the manufacturing date as a serious replacement point even if the tread still looks usable. The DOT date code on the sidewall is the key reference for that timeline.

Mileage alone can be misleading on 2017 Jeep Trucks because many vehicles in this category see seasonal use, off-road recreation, or short local trips rather than steady commuting. A tire can look acceptable from across the garage but still be aged, hardened, or internally compromised. Checking the date code and combining it with a visual inspection gives a far better picture than tread depth by itself when deciding whether replacement should move up on your schedule.

Tires on a 2017 Jeep Trucks should be inspected before every drive and again before any longer highway trip. Look for sidewall cracking, punctures, bulges, uneven wear, tread damage, and pressure loss, and make sure valve stems are sound and free of weathering. On all-terrain applications such as Wrangler or larger Grand Cherokee sizes, also check for cuts, stone retention, or impact damage from trail or gravel-road use.

A quick walk-around catches most tire problems before they become roadside problems. For 2017 Jeep Trucks that alternate between daily use and long idle periods, pressure drift and age-related cracking are often more important than worn-out tread. Build the habit of checking cold inflation, looking at both outer and inner sidewalls when possible, and inspecting the spare as well, because the spare often becomes the forgotten weak link on an otherwise well-prepared Jeep.

2017 Jeep Trucks tires can be suitable for highway driving when the correct size is used, the tire is in sound condition, and the speed rating is respected. The covered products with speed markings here use either T or S ratings: T-rated 225/60R17 carries a 118 mph ceiling, while S-rated 225/65R17, 245/65R17, 215/65R16 KO2, 245/70R17, 225/75R16, and 245/75R16 carry a 112 mph ceiling. Those limits are comfortably above normal U.S. highway speeds, but the rating should still be treated as an upper bound rather than a target.

For a 2017 Jeep Trucks owner, highway safety depends at least as much on inflation, tire age, alignment, suspension condition, and loading as on the printed speed symbol. A Wrangler on all-terrain tires, for instance, may feel different at speed than a Cherokee or Compass on a road-oriented radial even when all are fully serviceable. Check condition and pressure before longer trips, and keep the Jeep's overall mechanical condition in mind along with the tire's rating.

Inflation pressure on 2017 Jeep Trucks tires should follow the vehicle's factory recommendation for the original application, while also respecting the tire manufacturer's maximum load-and-pressure marking for the exact tire you choose. The covered products here include 225/60R17 at 1,709 pounds at 44 psi, 225/65R17 at 2,150 pounds at 65 psi, 245/65R17 at 2,405 pounds at 65 psi, 215/65R16 at either 1,565 pounds at 35 psi or 1,930 pounds at 65 psi depending on product, 245/70R17 at 3,000 pounds at 80 psi, 225/75R16 at 2,680 pounds at 80 psi, and 245/75R16 at 3,042 pounds at 80 psi.

Those figures are load-capacity maximums tied to each individual tire, not blanket pressure instructions for every 2017 Jeep Trucks model. A Cherokee, Renegade, Grand Cherokee, and Wrangler do not all want the same operating pressure just because they share a brand or construction type. Use the vehicle placard or owner's manual as the baseline for the Jeep itself, then make sure the tire you select is being used within its own rated pressure and load limits.

Before a longer drive in a 2017 Jeep Trucks, inspect each tire for cracking, cuts, bulges, punctures, uneven wear, and correct cold pressure. Make sure the valve stems are in good condition, check tread depth across the full width of the tire, and confirm that the spare is inflated and usable. If the Jeep has been stored or used off-road, pay extra attention to impact damage, bead-area leaks, and any signs that a tire has aged out before it has worn out.

Tires are only one part of the travel equation, but they are the easiest place to catch trouble early. A Grand Cherokee headed out on the interstate and a Wrangler headed toward trail miles both benefit from the same pre-trip mindset: inspect, inflate, and look for anything unusual before leaving home. Pair the tire check with a general once-over of brakes, fluids, and suspension so the entire Jeep is prepared for the distance ahead.
