Jeep Grand Cherokee L tire size
Original tire sizes for the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, model years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Trim levels and wheel packages change the size within the same year, so confirm on the door-jamb sticker before ordering.
Check before you order. The surest answer is the tires on the car right now: the size is molded into the sidewall. The placard inside the driver's door tells you what the factory fitted, which can differ from what a previous owner put on. Our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where to look.

Which brand should you pick?
Jeep does not stamp its own approval code on tires the way Porsche or BMW do. Any tire in the right size that meets or exceeds the load index and speed rating on your door placard is a legitimate replacement, so pick on wet braking, tread life and price. Our picks for each size are on the size pages below.
The drawing carries the sizes we list for this car, so you know what you are looking for. The placard on the car is still the final word, and it is the only place that gives the cold pressures: the number molded into the sidewall is the maximum the tire can hold, not what your car wants.

About the Jeep Grand Cherokee L
The Grand Cherokee L is the long-wheelbase, three-row version of Jeep's Grand Cherokee, introduced for 2021 and the first Grand Cherokee ever offered with a third row. It is a heavy unibody SUV with real off-road hardware available, sold with rear- or four-wheel drive. Tire shoppers land here on 18-, 20- or 21-inch fitments that get expensive fast at the top of the range.
Launched in 2021. Launched in 2021, the Grand Cherokee L was revealed in a livestream on January 7 as the first version of the new WL-generation Grand Cherokee, and the first three-row Jeep since the Commander went out of production in 2010.
How to tell the model years apart
Wheel and tire sizes follow the generation, not the badge, so identifying yours matters before you order.
2021-2024
First generation (WL)
There is only one Grand Cherokee L, and the way you tell it from the two-row Grand Cherokee is length: the L is about eleven inches longer with a noticeably longer rear door and a third side window. It has the seven-slot grille set between slim headlamps and a full-width trim strip at the rear. Laredo trims sit on 18-inch wheels with 265/60R18, Limited and Overland on 20s, and Summit on 21-inch wheels with a much shorter sidewall.
What the press said
The Grand Cherokee L was well received as the three-row Jeep buyers had wanted for years, with reviewers praising the interior quality on Overland and Summit trims, the tow rating and the genuine off-road ability of the Trailhawk-adjacent setups. Criticism has focused on the ageing Pentastar V6, on prices that climb steeply through the trim range, on all-wheel drive not being standard, and on the third row being tight for adults. Road tests generally conclude that it is the pick for families who actually leave pavement and an expensive choice for those who do not.
the Grand Cherokee L is the three-row SUV for families who want to venture far from paved roads.
Car and Driver, 2026
| Model year | Units sold in the US |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 264,444 |
| 2022 | 223,345 |
| 2023 | 244,594 |
| 2024 | 216,148 |
| 2025 | 210,082 |
Stellantis reports Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L sales as a single figure, which ran from 264,444 in 2021 to 210,082 in 2025, so no L-only US number is published.
Was it a success?
The Grand Cherokee family remains one of the best-selling mid-size SUVs in America and the L added genuine volume by opening the model to three-row buyers. Resale on Grand Cherokees has historically been middling, and the Summit trims in particular lose a lot of their sticker in three years. Reliability reputation is a real caveat: the WL generation had a rough start with electronics and recalls, and Jeep sits low in most dependability studies, which is why the extended warranty conversation comes up so often with these trucks.
Did you know?
- The Grand Cherokee L is assembled at the Mack Avenue Assembly Complex in Detroit, built on the grounds of an old engine plant and the first new car assembly plant in the city in about three decades.
- The three-row L was revealed nearly nine months before the two-row Grand Cherokee of the same generation, which did not appear until September 30, 2021.
- Before the L, the only three-row Jeep ever sold in the US was the Commander of 2006 to 2010, which was a commercial failure.
Tire options on the Jeep Grand Cherokee L
Sizes step up hard with trim: 265/60R18 on Laredo, 265/50R20 on Limited and Overland, and 275/45R21 on Summit. All three are square, non-staggered fitments, none are run-flat, and most trims carry a full-size or near-full-size spare under the cargo floor, which matters because the Quadra-Drive four-wheel-drive systems do not like a badly mismatched wheel. Original equipment came mostly from Bridgestone, Pirelli and Continental in touring all-season form, with Goodyear all-terrains on the more off-road-focused packages. The 21-inch Summit fitment is the one to think about before you buy the trim: replacement tires cost roughly double the 18-inch size, the short sidewall makes wheel damage on potholes far more likely, and winter options in 275/45R21 are limited. Owners who tow should check the load index, because a tow rating above 6,000 pounds combined with a fully loaded three-row SUV puts real load on the rear tires. Dropping to an 18- or 20-inch winter wheel and tire package is the standard move for 21-inch cars in snow states.
