SRT-8 Replacement Recommendation?

[sah62]

Which all-season tire would you recommend to replace the stock Goodyears on my 2006 SRT-8? I've got 245-45-20 all around, drive mostly highway, daily driver with no racing, still 100% stock, occasional snow and rain. I'm looking to stick with the stock size and would prefer to get good tread life over performance. After 36K miles my stock tires are wearing thin.

Thanks for the question. I think your best bet would be the Yokohama Parada Spec X (http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/tires/yokohama/product/submitProductSize.do?tmn=Parada+Spec-X&pc=44149&typ=Truck%2FSUV) This tire should last longer than your stock tire and will still be comfortable. You can sipe them for additional snow traction as well. Check out the reviews.

$600.00 out the door is a great price. You would have to call your local store and see what they are offering right now. If you like the Invo, stick with them, they are a great high performance tire for your type of driving.

So is it reasonable to put 275/45r20 's on my stock Charger SRT8 rear rims? They came with All Season 245/45r20 's on them, but I would really like to get a wider more aggressive tire for better traction and cornering. I would like to go to the 255's upfront, which I see above is acceptable.

I take my Charger out to the local road race track, and find the the stock tires just can't keep up with the power and braking that the SRT is capable of.

What do you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I swapped my stock Goodyear F1 Supercar tires (245/45R20 in front and 255/45R20 in rear) for 275/45R20 Vredestein Ultra SUV Sessanta tires (thread link (http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101960)) and do not have any rubbing issues on stock SRT8 2007 rims.

I have run two different sets of 275/40/20s, both Vredstiens and Nitto NT-05s on my SRT-8s stock wheels. No issues with clearance.

The 275/40-20 is an approved size for the factory 20x9 rims. If you want a streetable/track tire, I would look into the new NT05 by Nitto.

Thanks, any idea on pricing?

Your local Discount Tire store should be able to order them in for you but if you would like to order online. Here's a link to our mail order price.

Are you saying the 275s won't rub up front? I always thought 255 was the biggest you could go up front.

[GLHS837]

I'm on my third set of 275s up front, no problems at all.

I got Dunlop 22" - 265 in front and Yokohama 22" - 315 in the rear, with Offset rims and no issues at all. Probably with 20" rim you can go a bit wider in the front I suppose. This combination works awesome and traction is pretty good in the rain too.
