2012 Jeep Liberty Tire Size Chart
| Trim or package | Common tire size | Wheel size | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sport | 225/75R16 | 16 in | Common base size. Also check whether your specific Sport package lists 235/70R16. |
| Sport | 235/70R16 | 16 in | Another common Sport fitment. Similar overall diameter to 225/75R16 but slightly wider. |

| Limited | 235/65R17 | 17 in | Common Limited size with 17-inch wheels. |

How To Confirm The Right Liberty Tire Size
The easiest mistake is buying by model name only. A 2012 Liberty Sport, Limited, and Jet can use different wheel diameters, so you need the tire size that matches the wheels actually on the vehicle. The tire size is printed on the sidewall and on the driver-side door-jamb placard.
- Match the wheel diameter first: R16 tires fit 16-inch wheels, R17 tires fit 17-inch wheels, and so on.
- Check all four tires plus the spare if the vehicle was bought used.
- Do not assume a larger Jet tire fits a Sport wheel package.
- If changing tire diameter, expect speedometer and spare-tire fitment questions.
