Recommended replacement tires
Choosing the right tires for your 2017 Jeep Cherokee depends on your driving habits and budget.
- Budget-friendly: The Kumho Solus TA11 is a great value, offering good all-season performance and a long tread life for a low price.
- OEM equivalent (all-season): For a balance of performance, comfort, and longevity similar to the factory tires, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S is a popular choice for Cherokee owners. It provides excellent wet and dry traction.
- Premium all-terrain (Trailhawk): If you have a Trailhawk or want more off-road capability, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 is a gold-standard upgrade. It offers aggressive traction in mud and snow while maintaining decent on-road manners.
Lug nut torque & pattern
- Lug nut torque: 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm)
- Tightening pattern: Always tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure the wheel is seated evenly against the hub. Tighten the nuts in two stages, first to half the recommended torque, and then to the full 100 ft-lbs.
Common tire issues for this vehicle
The 2017 Jeep Cherokee is generally reliable, but owners have reported a few common tire-related issues.
- Premature wear on OEM tires: Some owners have noted that the original equipment tires, particularly on non-Trailhawk models, can wear out faster than expected. Regular tire rotations (every 5,000–7,000 miles) and consistent pressure checks are crucial to maximize tire life.
- TPMS sensor faults: Like many modern vehicles, the Cherokee can experience occasional TPMS sensor failures. This will trigger a warning light on your dash. A tire shop can diagnose and replace the faulty sensor, which is typically located inside the wheel.
- Alignment issues: The independent front and rear suspension on the Cherokee, while providing a comfortable ride, can be sensitive to misalignment from potholes or curb impacts. If you notice uneven tire wear (e.g., more wear on the inside or outside edge of the tire), have your alignment checked by a qualified technician.
