    Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014: What size is the spare wheel?

    Jeep Jeep Advice Jeep Grand Cherokee Jeep Grand Cherokee Advice Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014

    I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee and took delivery in March. The issue I have is the spare wheel. I am aware that car makers are not obliged to provide a spare wheel at all, however Chrysler Jeep is one manufacturer that does. The buyers' guide provided by Jeep states categorically in three separate sections that the vehicle is supplied with 18-inch polished aluminium wheels and 265x60 R18 Michelin all-season tyres. Is it not reasonable to expect that all five wheels should be identical? What has been supplied as the spare is, however, a steel wheel and a Kumho tyre that is 20mm narrower than the Michelin.

    What you have is called a "compact" spare and it's not remotely unusual these days. Very few companies now provide five alloy wheels and Jeep changes its packages depending on whether it expects the vehicle to do serious off-road work.
