FAQS

  • Q What type of tyre should I buy?

    The type of tyre will vary depending on the size of your vehicle and the conditions that you will be driving under. Check out our guide above for more information on which tyres fit your needs or visit a Jeep dealer to chat with one of our experts.

  • Q How old is the tyre I’m buying?

    You can check the age of your tyre by looking at the DOT Tyre Identification Number (TIN) on the sidewall. The last 4 digits represent the week and year the tyre was made. It is recommended that you check this date when purchasing tyres as well as the manufacturer’s recommended tyre replacement period.
