I use Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow on my 2012 Charger SRT8. I also used them on my 2009 Challenger SRT8.
They lose a lot of traction in the dry, and can easily be spun up to 50 or 60 MPH. Also be careful in the rain as they tend to lock up a bit on braking, much to my disappointment, and the Mazda in front of me.
I have the Continetal Extreme Contact DWS. The SRT doesn't fear weather and is fully capable for Winter driving.

I ran the same tires in a 30 inch snowstorm and did not get stuck
added weight to trunk
However, I would go with dedicated snow tires like Blizzaks for maximum grip
This year I have a beater with full winter tires so I am not driving the SRT8 in the snow. That gives me time to do a suspension rebuild as I just went over 185,000 miles.
I am glad to see the responses on here. On other boards you normally get the "you can't drive a 425HP car in the snow" as if you are going to floor it in a snowstorm.

If the govt was still calculating the unemployment rate using the same criteria, the “official” rate today would be closer to 18%. In 2004, median income man in his 30s - $35,010. Adj. for inflation, 12 percent less than 1974.
Get rid of them immediately and get some Conti Extreme Contacts

They are the stock RS-A's and yes, worst tire ever!! The SRT is in the garage now that the snow is flying. I just needed to hit the gym, gf had the truck and I wasn't about to drive her mini-van!
why does it matter if it's an SRT8 or not? when there's snow, no matter what power you'r pushing at the wheels you still don't have traction.

A BRUTAL tire that should have never been put on this car

On my 2006 Charger I drove 5 winter seasons on 4 winterforce tires with no issues at all. I used auto stick lots for down shifting when roads were slippery.
