I guess you can - 235 85 R 16 is a bit narrower and taller. but not vitally. so it would fit
If 235/70-16 is the OEM tire size then switching to a 245/70-16 will cause your speedometer to read 58.8 at a true 60 mph. You will also have slightly less power.
Can a 225/60R 16 tire replace a 235/70R 16 tire.
235 70r 16
yes
You can but you should not. The 235/85-16 tire will be way too tall and will have a diameter that is 2.22" larger. This will cause your speedometer to be 4.2 mph too slow at 60 mph. This is not a good swap.
The way you have phrased your question is confusing. If you are saying that the 235/70-16 is the OEM size the answer is NO, this is not an acceptable swap. Going either way this is a bad swap. If your OEM size is 235/70-16 and you want to go to a 75 series tire then you need to install a 215/75-16. If your OEM size is 245/75-16 and you want to go to a 70 series tire then go with a 265/70-16.
A 235 / 85 / 16 tire is ( 31.7 inches in diameter and has a section width of 9.3 inches ) A 245 / 80 / 16 tire is ( 31.4 inches in diameter and has a section width of 9.6 inches ) So , they are pretty close in physical size , but I don't know about the weight carrying capacity ( the 245 tire , with the lower profile . is 3 /10 th of an inch smaller diameter and 3 /10 inch wider )
Maybe, if there is clearance for the wider tire.
That is quite a bit wider, make sure there is clearance when steering is on full lock.
This model offered two different wheel sizes. 15" and 16" the 15" is 235/75R/15 the 16" is 245/70R/16
The correct factory tire size for a 2001 Jeep Cherokee is 225/75-16.
Not a good idea, that's a far wider tire than you had originally. It may not even fit on the same rim safely.
