I bought a winter beater about 3 weeks ago. It is a 1995 jeep Cherokee XJ and it has 4x4. The tires that are on it are 215/75/15, When I type in my vehicle on say, tire rack.com it states an option of a 225/75/15. I read my driver door and it states just 215/75/15, no option for the next size up. I have read on Cherokee forms where people used 235/75/15's with no issue. I took it to a tire shop and the guy said I would not be able to fit 225's on it. What gives? Was there different suspension packages on these Cherokee's? It has a 4.0L Engine with 4x4, everything else is stock with 15" steelies.... Can someone shed some light on this issue for me? I shouldn't have to get a lift kit so I can go 1 size up on tires should I? The tire guy thought the jeep was a 2WD Jeep when I pulled in, he stated that is was a bit lower than a standard 4x4 Cherokee? I never heard of that...
