Follow these steps carefully
Read the door-jamb placard for front/rear pressures, press a quality gauge squarely onto each stem, and record all four. Note any tire much lower than the rest; investigate a slow leak.
Never use the sidewall maximum — it's a load limit, not the operating pressure. Refit all four caps snugly, and eyeball tread and sidewalls for nails, cuts, bulges, or uneven wear a rotation won't fix.
Same size at all four corners stock; SRT and Trackhawk with wider rears, or any directional tires, rotate side-to-side only. Mark each tire with chalk before lifting.
On SRT Grand Cherokees I check the rears before lifting — the wider rear rubber means forward cross is off the table, and I've watched shops try it anyway before reading the sidewalls.
Level ground, chock the wheels staying down, loosen lug nuts a quarter turn before lifting. Jack at proper points onto rated stands — never under a jack alone. Recheck after ~50 miles.
The WK2's TPMS relearns automatically — park for ~15 minutes after setting pressures, then drive 10 consecutive minutes above 15 mph. The cluster display updates on its own; no button to press. A flashing TPMS telltale means a system fault, not low pressure.
The 15-minute parked wait before the drive is the part everyone skips — I've learned the WK2 needs that sit before the relearn run; driving off immediately shows me stale positions until the next drive cycle.
The full-size spare sits under the cargo floor. Lift the floor panel, check the spare's pressure against the door-jamb spec, and inspect for age cracking. Confirm the jack and lug wrench are stowed with it and work, then secure the panel.
Drive 10–15 minutes at neighborhood and highway speeds; note steering pull, vibration, or tire noise. Confirm the TPMS light is off. Next morning, recheck all four pressures cold and correct any drift. Log the date and mileage, and repeat at the owner's-manual interval.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
