What tires are equipped on the Jeep Cherokee?

The Jeep Cherokee is equipped with Bridgestone tires, with a tire size of 225/60R18. Bridgestone Corporation (English: Bridgestone Corporation) was established in 1931 by Shojiro Ishibashi in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, as a tire manufacturing plant. In the 2018 Fortune Global 500 rankings, it was ranked 365th. The company's English name is derived from the literal translation of the founder's surname, Ishibashi. Bridgestone is Japan's largest tire manufacturer and the world's largest tire producer. In the Chinese market, Bridgestone was formerly known as the "Ishibashi brand," but today the company uniformly uses the transliterated name "Bridgestone." For the tires on the Jeep Cherokee, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may seem minor but can pose a hidden risk of tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, park to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road surface.
I've been driving a Jeep Cherokee for four years, with the original Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires in size 225/60R17. These tires are quite suitable for daily commuting and light off-roading, offering good traction without slipping in rain or snow. They're quiet for city driving and provide decent shock absorption on rough roads. The replacement cost is reasonable at about 800 yuan per tire. I recommend checking tire pressure regularly, ideally every six months, to prevent excessive wear that could affect fuel efficiency and safety. Before long trips, I always do a quick inspection of tire condition—if there are cracks or the tread is shallow, it's time for new ones. I chose these tires mainly because the Cherokee is designed for family use, balancing comfort and durability.
