The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a premium mid-size SUV with genuine off-road capability in its Trailhawk and Rubicon trims. The right tire depends on which Grand Cherokee you have — a Laredo on pavement has very different needs than a Trailhawk on a muddy trail.
Common Jeep Grand Cherokee tire sizes
WL Grand Cherokee (2022-current): 265/60R18 (Laredo, Limited), 265/50R20 (Limited, Overland), 265/50R20 (Summit), 255/55R20 (Trailhawk).
WK2 Grand Cherokee (2011-2021): 265/60R18 (Laredo, Limited), 265/50R20 (Overland, Summit), 245/65R17 (Trailhawk), 265/60R18 (Trailhawk).
The Trailhawk uses active suspension, skid plates, and a specific tire with extra off-road capability — Falken Wildpeak AT Trail from the factory on many builds.
Best tires — Laredo, Limited, Overland (pavement)
Michelin CrossClimate2: the best all-around choice for Grand Cherokee owners who primarily drive paved roads. Excellent wet grip, 3PMSF winter rating, quiet and long-lasting. Available in 265/60R18 and 265/50R20.
Continental CrossContact LX25: excellent wet performance and fuel efficiency — well-suited to the Grand Cherokee's luxury positioning.
Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II: Pirelli is a common Grand Cherokee OEM partner — the Scorpion Verde is a natural replacement with improved all-weather capability.
Best tires — Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and Rubicon
Falken Wildpeak AT3W: the most popular Trailhawk upgrade and an improvement over the OEM Falken AT Trail. 3PMSF winter rating, better rock and clay traction, available in Trailhawk sizes.
BF Goodrich KO2: for Trailhawk owners who use the off-road capability seriously — better rock and mud grip than any all-terrain at the cost of more highway noise.
Toyo Open Country AT3: the quietest A/T upgrade for Trailhawk owners who daily-drive highway miles — better on-road refinement than the KO2 with similar moderate off-road capability.
