Vehicle model
Jeep Grand Cherokee
The Grand Cherokee is Jeep's flagship mid-size SUV, launched in 1993 and long assembled at the Jefferson North plant in Detroit. Over the generations, it has moved upmarket while retaining genuine off-road capability on the Trailhawk versions. The current generation (WL, since 2022) offers a two-row variant and an extended three-row version (Grand Cherokee L), as well as a 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain. It targets families seeking comfort, technology, accessible luxury and versatility. As for tires and wheels, it frequently mounts 18- to 21-inch wheels; the Trailhawk 4xe version, for example, rides on 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires. In Quebec, dedicated winter tires are essential on this heavy SUV; a winter set of more modest diameter improves traction and comfort in extreme cold.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Jeep couvrent une large plage de dimensions de pneus et de jantes. Les modèles tout-terrain comme le Wrangler et le Gladiator privilégient souvent des jantes de 17 ou 18 pouces avec des pneus à flancs hauts et à crampons (tout-terrain ou boue), tandis que les Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer et Grand Wagoneer montent fréquemment des jantes plus grandes (18 à 22 pouces) à profil plus routier. Beaucoup de modèles utilisent un entraxe à cinq trous. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés sont essentiels et souvent obligatoires : pour ces VUS lourds et tractants, un jeu hivernal monté sur des jantes en acier ou en aluminium de plus petit diamètre améliore la motricité, protège les jantes d'origine et facilite les changements saisonniers. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte inscrite sur la portière.
