Jeep Grand Cherokee Tire Pressure Specs

The name of this system speaks for itself! It can be tricky to constantly be checking your tire pressure manually, which is why the goal here is to keep you, the driver, informed as to what is going on with your tires at all times. The TPMS allows you to be warned whenever one or multiple of your tires are under-inflated and do not match the manufacturer's recommended pressure. This usually comes in the form of a yellow symbol that is illuminated on your dashboard in the shape of a tire cross-section that features an exclamation point. The more information you have on your side, the easier it is to keep track of what is going on with your Grand Cherokee. You deserve the best of the best, and we can't wait to keep you and your ride on the road.

You may find two different types of TPMS with your vehicle, depending on factors such as the model year, trim, and other variables. The first of these is indirect TPMS, which tracks the pressure of your tires by relying on wheel speed sensors to measure the rate of revolution that each of your tires makes. Based on those rates of revolution, the tires can determine if a wheel is spinning faster than it normally would, which signals an underinflated tire. On the flip side, a direct PMS uses pressure monitoring sensors in every tire of your Grand Cherokee. These sensors can even offer tire temperature readings, which allow you to fully understand what is going on with your tires. No matter what, these systems are designed perfectly to keep you in the know.

We're talking a lot about tire pressure, but why does it even matter? Well, under- and over-inflated tires can cause absolute havoc if they are not caught promptly with tech like tire pressure monitoring. Over-inflated tires often lead to things like blowouts, along with your tires wearing unevenly, and a reduction in grip that is incredibly important if you're dealing with tricky terrain. However, under-inflated tires can be just as problematic, as they can make handling your Grand Cherokee harder, which is something you do not want to have to deal with, especially with bad weather. We also have to mention that the performance of your Jeep will take a hit with tires that aren't up to par, either. The better your ride is taken care of, the better for everyone!
