The Jeep Renegade is an entry-level compact crossover: primarily a front-wheel-drive urban commuter with an available AWD system, plus a Trailhawk variant that adds real off-road hardware. It's the smallest Jeep in the lineup, and tire choice depends heavily on which of those two personalities you're driving.
Common Jeep Renegade tire sizes
BU Renegade (2015-2023, its final US model year): 215/65R16 or 215/60R17 (Sport, Latitude, Altitude), 225/55R18 (earlier Limited) or 235/45R19 (later Limited and special editions), 215/65R17 (Trailhawk).
The 215/65R16 and 215/60R17 are the most common sizes.
AWD Renegades need tread depth matched across all four tires — mismatched rolling diameters strain the AWD transfer case, which is why most AWD manufacturers recommend replacing all four together rather than one or two at a time.
Best tires — Sport and Latitude (215/65R16)
Michelin CrossClimate2 in 215/65R16: the best upgrade for standard Renegade owners. All-weather confidence at a reasonable cost for the entry-level Jeep.
Continental PureContact LS: excellent wet grip and fuel efficiency for FWD commuter Renegade owners.

Frequently asked
How much do Jeep Renegade tires cost?
215/65R16: $95–135 per tire. 215/60R17: $105–150 per tire (A/T: $130–175). A set of four installed (215/65R16): $380–540.
How long do tires last on a Jeep Renegade?
Typical all-season tires in Renegade sizes last 45,000 to 60,000 miles under normal driving. Rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, per the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association's general rotation guidance, to get full life out of the set, especially on AWD Trailhawk models where mismatched tread wear adds strain to the drivetrain.
Do I need all-terrain tires on a Jeep Renegade?
Only if you actually use the trail. A Renegade that sticks to pavement is quieter and more efficient on a good all-season, and it rides better on the highway. If you've got an off-road-focused Renegade or you hit gravel and mud often, a light all-terrain earns its keep. Match the tire to how you really drive, not the badge.
Should I replace all four tires on an AWD Renegade?
When you can, yes. The Renegade's AWD system prefers even tread depth all around, and a big mismatch puts extra strain on the drivetrain over time. If just one or two are damaged, ask a shop whether shaving the new tires to match is an option. Otherwise a full set is the safer route.
