What is the Biggest tire size without a lift and without any rubbing that can fit on a 2017+ Jeep Compass?
What is the Biggest tire size w/out a lift and without any rubbing that can fit on a 2017+ Jeep Compass?
This question has not yet been very thoroughly evaluated, the 2nd gen Compass just came out last year and very few people change tires right away on a brand new vehicle, so there just isn't a lot of experience yet from others to draw on.Hernán Grimberg said:What is the Biggest tire size w/out a lift and without any rubbing that can fit on a 2017+ Jeep Compass?

I checked into it a bit early on and mainly what I seemed to find is
1) There is not much room for a larger tire, only a little bit wider and you are in danger of rubbing the strut towers up front and as mentioned in the back the rear tire is awfully far forward in the wheel well, and
2) There is not enough torque in the 2.4 N/A motor to afford losing some of it to turn over a larger tire.
Physics dictate that you will loose performance and gas mileage with any increase in tire height and weight. How much of course depends on how much bigger than stock. I'm not sure on the warranty, we have heard conflicting information about how large a tire can be before it causes you issues in that department. That is yet another reason people tend to run stock-size tires on brand new cars.

From what I see on our Trailhawk stepping up to a 28.5" tall and 8.9" wide should not be an issue But again with the Trailhawk we start with a 28" and it has different struts and possibly springs.With a 17” rim size, it seems we can only go from the stock 225/60/R17 to a 225/65/R17 and that means going from 27.63” diameter to 28.52”. I don’t know if anyone tried these bigger tires yet. All we know so far is that 28.40” fits well...
I wish the math was just that simple I was just using my Tracker as a lose reference. My Tracker is much much lighter than the Compass and gets like 4.87 axle ratio. It also runs a 2.0 engine and 4 speed auto. While going up to a so much larger tire screwed with the last number in drive ratio I had a lot more gearing in my favor. Then with less weight I was not having to move much weight with that taller gear ratio.About the loss in mpg with these tires, and using your numbers from your old Chevy Tracker, that means that if we increase the diameter in about 1/2”, we will loose about 0.57 in mpg in city.
If the Compass has a city mpg of 23, then, we will have maybe 23.57 mpg?
