Default Cherokee oem tires?

Just ordered a 2015 Cherokee Limited 4x4. Not fond of having to live with 18 in. tires...but I'll get over it. My question is does anyone know whether this vehicle will come with all-weather tires?. I live in Pa. & don't want any kind of summer stuff. Tried various sources but no one seems to know for sure.

Thanks for any help.

Did you ask the dealer you ordered it from? I'm sure they can put any tire you want on it

You can get them with the firestone destination ATs which are pretty decent tires. I was happy with them.

If you give them back the limited and trade it for the trailhawk it comes ready to go.

why would a 4x4 vehicle come with summer tires? I would have to think they come standard with all seasons, optionally all terrains.

Same reason i ask why do SUVs come with 4X2. Its because of mass marketing. We in the NE need ATs however some areas don't. Like mentioned earlier. Talk to the dealer and see if you can swap them for the destination ATs

OP is asking if it comes with all weather (all season) tires, specifically saying he doesn't want it to have summer tires. I'm not aware of any non-performance sports car coming with summer tires from the factory. Unless I misunderstand. Maybe summer tires to you jeep guys means all seasons

Anything that doesn't say AT is a summer tire :-P. I don't see a purpose for HT tires for a jeep. On my work van yes. But anything where you're dealing g with snow and/or offroading, an AT helps
