Can you as in are you able to? Yes if a tire shop will take the risk of doing it. Is it recommended? NO. I have personally seen this cause transfer case issues in Chrysler vehicles. The rule most will follow on this is that there can not be any more than 3/32" tread depth difference between any two tires on a four wheel drive vehicle. Especially an all time four wheel drive. On most lock in, lock out, 4wd vehicles it could be pulled off simply by not using the four wheel drive until you replace the other 2 tires.

Its certainly not recommended but it can be done with minimal risk as your not changing the diameter of the tires being turned with force from the transfer case. However, when you're always in 4wd you ARE changing the rates at which each differential is turning, not signifacantly, but enough for a weak drive train (which Chrysler is known for) to take issue, and cause you very expensive drive train repairs.

My best advice, bite the bullett and get 4. If you absolutely can't and must have new tires, plan to purchase the other two tires ASAP after replacing the front two. Just don't leave two different diameter tires on an AWD vehicle for an extended time.

Do a 96 Jeep Cherokee and 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee share the same undercarraige?

The Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee do not share the same undercarriage for one reason; neither vehicle has one. They are both unibody construction and only use what is known as a subframe for the suspension components to attach to the body. They can however use the same differential or "axle housings", transmissions (when equipped with the inline 6 engine), transfer case, and wheels.

What are the applications of ordinary differential equations in engineering?

You'll find ordinary differential equations (ODEs) being used in chemical engineering for many things, such as determining reaction rates, activation energies, mass transfer operations, heat transfer operations, and momentum transfer operations.


How do you tune up a 2005 jeep grand Cherokee?

I own a 2006 3.7L grand Cherokee and my tune up consists of spark pug replacements (6) for me, differential fluid change, ATF fluid change (no flush), and PCV. If you have a transfer case you will need to change that as well. good luck!


What is differential pressure in cfbc boiler?

Differential pressure in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) boiler refers to the difference in pressure between two points within the system, typically across the bed of the boiler. This pressure difference is crucial for maintaining the proper flow of gas and solid particles, ensuring efficient combustion and heat transfer. Monitoring differential pressure helps in optimizing the operation of the boiler, as it can indicate changes in bed density, flow resistance, or potential blockages. Maintaining the appropriate differential pressure is essential for the overall performance and efficiency of the CFBC boiler.
