Tyres for Chrysler vehicles plus torque settings table for related models
The purpose of this table is to denote
proper wheelnut torque tightening settings, and air
pressure, for most common tyres on the related vehicles.
Finding replacement tyres for Chrysler vehicles is not
difficult, but that is only part of the equation.
Getting the right tyres for Chrysler cars, vans, trucks,
or SUVs may involve some choices if the driver's
preferences, and driving habits, require different tyres
for the Chrysler than were originally fitted by Chrysler.
Changing the tyres on a Chrysler should require 3 primary
choices:
- The overall quality of the tyre (durability,
wear, ratings, cost) desired for the Chrysler
- The speed rating that a tyre for that Chrysler
should have depending upon the driver's average and
occasional "fastest-driven" speed
- Deciding if local and/or regional weather
patterns merit keeping two sets of tyres for dry vs.
wet road conditions
Further, if an owner wishes to put tyres on different
sized wheels for the Chrysler, a careful decision about
what size tyres will be valid for that Chrysler is
required. If, for example, a larger wheel size is
desired, then the profile (height) and/or the width must
be reduced to avoid damaging the drive train. A
195/65/15 tyre for that Chrysler, for instance, on a 17"
rim, could legitimately become a 165/65 (narrower) or a
195/55 (shorter) but could not stay a 195/65 as before.
A handy calculator for changing tyre sizes can be
found
here.
All tyres for any Chrysler vehicle should be fitted
using the proper torque, according to the manufacturer's
specifications. Torque is the amount of pressure used to
tighten the wheel nuts. For tyres that are fitted
to the following Chrysler models, the torque settings are
listed. Also, the recommended air pressure to put into
tyres for Chrysler models is listed. Further, the
alternate tyre size for Chrysler models.

batteries for Chrysler vehicles may be found at the
