The other day I sent this message to Daimler-Chrysler along with my VIN:
> I'm more than a bit confused about my man. rec. tire pressures. The > driver's door says 33psi F&R. The owner's manual says 30psi F&R. The front > glovebox has an additional sticker specifically for a Limited - it states > 30/35psi F/R. I know these pressures don't make a lot of difference > anyway, but I was curious why the LTD would specify different F/R > pressures. Is it because the LTD has a rear antisway bar? Shouldn't the > pressures be equal F/R with SelectTrac? It certainly seems to ride less > harshly with the front at 30psi., but I assume it won't help my mileage > much! This was their reply: "Dear Dana, Thank you for your recent email to DaimlerChrysler Motors regarding your 1990 Jeep Cherokee. The recommended tire pressures for your vehicle are based on the original tires that were equipped with your vehicle (P225/75R16 BSW On/Off Road Tires). Since you currently have different sized tires on the vehicle, we recommend you contact the tire manufacturer for proper inflation guidelines. Thank you again for your email." SNIP 16" rims in 1990?? I sent the following message to clarify: To my knowledge, these vehicles were not available with 16" rims in 1990. I am running standard, factory equipped 15" rims, which came on all Cherokees. If indeed the vehicle came with 16" rims from the factory, shouldn't the recommended tire pressure for the tires you mention above (which must be a mistake) be posted conspicuously in one of the three places I mentioned previously? There is no signage indicating 16" rims. My question is simply this - should the front & rear tires on a Limited be the same, as in other trim levels of Cherokees, or should they be higher in the rear than the front as is indicated on the glovebox sticker which is unique to the Limited trim model? We'll see what the reply is!! |
