Hi, I recently bought a 2011 Jeep Patriot Sport and I am hoping to upgrade my tyres. They are currently running the stock 215s and don't know how big they can go. Any suggestions?

Hi Vincent,
Welcome to the forum mate. Do you do much off roading and do you actually need more clearance. If not stick with stock size. Bigger and wider tyres will definitely put more load on your drive train, power steering, bearings etc. Which will eventually lead to more fuel consumption and premature part failures.....
Just my 2 cents as I don't believe in changing things just for the sake of if.....

Hi Mani,
Thanks for the advice. To be honest I was planning on upgrading to give my patriot a meaner look and wider stance. I recently downgraded from my wrangler and had 285s. I definitely miss the height and look of the wrangler and want to try and make the patriot a meaner car.
I will probably just leave them stock, but I was wondering if there were any suggestions on modifications for a patriot? There is very limited information on upgrades for patriots..
Thanks,
Vince
Depends on if you want to take it off road

Looks like a "drifta" JK there Steve.
This is what googling "2011 Patriot" returned.. Now, for that meaner look and wider stance.... Hmmmm.. Just kidding Vince.
Please don't take it to heart.
They're leaders from New England apparently..

Well, I've since refined the search and maybe there's something after all.
Whenever I say that I am the boss I get a pack of noodles and a can of tuna in my lunch bag.... And I understand the subtle message that who is the boss.....image.jpg
