Same here. I just purchased my first charger...2012 redline R/T and I thought the same thing. It rides so smooth on new roads....feel the bumps more due to the low profile tires. Wouldn't replace the look though.

but if you see the tires it has 245/45/R20

high 45 !! i think it is enough !

what do you thing about change tires ? is it good idea ? like continental tires ?

my goodyear f1's are kinda loud too, and I feel every bump as well, and they are relatively new (less than 2k on them).

I've been eyeballing the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires, they seem to get great reviews.

good news

you gays agree that the problem from tiers !

what is the greatest tiers for charger or let say 20inch rims

i see most of cars on Europe chose continental like BMW, Bentley,Mercedes ? any one use it for charger !

i use normal air in tiers , if i fuel it with Nitrogen ,

You won't feel any different with nitrogen. Your tire pressure is normal at 2.4 BAR (~35 psi).

Your low side wall height plus the stiff suspension is what you are feeling. The only way to soften the feel is to go to a higher sidewall height like a 55 series.

However, if you do this you will lose performance in cornering

Well, I don't know about 22" tires. I have 18's on mine. When I got my car, it had Yokahoma's on it. I couldn't believe how smooth the ride was. People who rode with me commented on how smooth it was. However, they had limited grip on the road. I spun the tires when I wasn't trying in the rain. I knew winter was coming and living in Chicago, I knew it meant a lot of snow and a lot of spinning. So I got Michelin tires. The grip is better, but the ride is much harder. I feel a lot more of what the road has to offer. So the tires do change the ride. And like Ddaddy said, the Nitrogen doesn't change the ride. Nitrogen is used because it's less influenced by temperature. Regular air in the tires increases pressure when it gets warm and less when it's cold. Nitrogen doesn't change for the most part.

The OP has factory 20" wheels and tires so there will be little difference between brands as far as the harshness of ride response to "ripples in the road" as he stated he was feeling.

As far as nitrogen, it has very little absolute difference to air (which is 79% nitrogen) when it comes to thermal expansion.

The whole nitrogen is better than air thing is a myth. The only reason it is used on formula race cars and aircraft is that it is dry because of it's supply nature (no moisture, which is what really contributes to thermal expansion) and it does not promote combustion when you blow a tire and the aluminum wheel begins to shower metal dust at high speed that can ignite.

Nitrogen is also easily stored in liquid form and high pressure gas form making it convenient for use in racing applications (easy to keep a gas cylinder in the pits) and aircraft applications (bulk liquid storage that is always available for instant high pressure filling).

Fahad, as the others have said, changing the tire brand won't help much. I doubt it would be enough of a difference to justify the cost of changing them. The only way to soften the ride is to change the suspension or the tire size. I wouldn't do either, because those features are probably why you bought the Road and Track package.

If you really wanted to soften the ride a by changing the tires, a taller sidewall will make the biggest difference. If you don't want to change the height, you can keep the tire diameter the same, by using smaller rims.
Your stock tires are 245/45/20, so your tire is 726 mm diameter. You could buy 18" rims, and put 245/55/18 tires on them. Those are also 726 mm diameter, but the smaller rim means the tire can flex more when you hit bumps. This will make the ride a little softer without changing the tire's overall height.

I made a quick visual comparison to help illustrate what I mean.

I hope it makes sense, but the picture is supposed to show a cross section of the tires. There's also the side view comparison where the 2 images meet in the middle.

^ that's a nice comparison. Just went shopping around for tires and it seemed to me the largest tire diameter was 28.2 inches. So a bit smaller, but probably not much. The rim is what give the height impression anyway.
