Re: Tire Pressure?? 90 Cherokee LTD
I run 30 to 35 psi in both front and rear on my 93 XJ and the same on the
wifeys 93 ZJ, the only time I run higher pressures is as others have said
hauling a load or when I put the snow tires on which have the pressure range
stamped in the sidewall (35 to 45 psi) I generally run about 40 with these.
You may have a few stickers stating different pressures due to labelling
errors that occurred at the factory, IIRC there was actually re-calls for
having the incorrect tire pressures on the door jamb (glove box) stickers.
At least they didn't do what ford did with the explorer, and tell everyone
to run the tires at 26 psi to reduce body roll and increase the stability...
even after firestone told ford that tire failure would result. I know 4
people who are still running those firestone wilderness tires on their
explorers, at a more suitable pressure of 30-33 psi, with no problems.

Re: Tire Pressure?? 90 Cherokee LTD
Now that you mention it, there is a light, penciled-in X over the sticker in
the glovebox. It certainly didn't look too official like it was done in a
recall, but I'll check into it to see if it was involved in a recall for
that. It doesn't come up as an outstanding recall on the vehicle, but
perhaps it was carried out by an underachiever, which I am seeing a lot of
with Jeep in my experience. Thanks.

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."

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!!

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!!

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."
