What tires are used on the 2017 Jeep Cherokee?
1 Answers
2017 Jeep Cherokee is equipped with Bridgestone Turanza tires, with the tire size being 225/60R18. Bridgestone Corporation was established by Shojiro Ishibashi in 1931 in Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan as a tire manufacturing plant. It ranked 365th in the 2018 Fortune Global 500 list. The company's English name is a direct translation of the founder's surname (Ishibashi means "stone bridge" in Japanese). Bridgestone is Japan's largest tire manufacturer and also the world's biggest tire producer. In Chinese markets, Bridgestone was formerly known as "Stone Bridge" brand, but the company has since standardized the use of the transliterated name "Bridgestone". For daily use of the 2017 Cherokee's tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations or other defects. As tires wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. Worn-out treads lose their water drainage and anti-skid functions, significantly reducing vehicle performance. Small cracks may become potential hazards for blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground when possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp or pointed stones. Never park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, drivers should avoid turning the steering wheel as this accelerates tire wear. Do not use water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires tend to overheat with increased pressure. In such cases, park to allow natural cooling. Never release air pressure or splash water for cooling, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent and hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between tires and road surfaces.
