What are the best street tires for a late model Challenger R/T? I'm not happy with the Goodyear Eagle F1s on my Mopar '10, and will upgrade this spring, but what should I look for? No racing, all street driven, no snow at all. Factory 245/45/ZR20, any advise appreciated. Thank you!

Michelin Pilot Super sport. I use them on my 600+ rwhp 08 mustang. MUCH better tire than the Goodyear F1.

I know several people much higher HP powered cars than I have using the same tire.
they grip better and last longer than the Nitto 555 I used to use.

I wish someone made a nice redline or blueline tire for this size Z tire. That would look sweet. I'm sure I'll get a lot more years out of my OE tires - we don't drive our 2012 R/T very much.

I just put a set of Hankook ventus V12 evo2 on my 06 srt8. Much better than my goodyears, especially in the rain.
You did say no snow but I want to emphasize that these are not for snow! My car was constantly activating the ESP............on flat pavement idling along in first gear with an inch of snow!!!!!!!!

I went with Nitto NT420S in 255 versus stock 245 for my 2010 R/T. I love them so far.

Put a set of ventus evo12s on my dodge 2 months ago. Wonderful quite, grippy, good in rain! DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES AND TRY TO DRIVE IN ANY SNOW.

I would also vote for the Michelins...They have rubber out now with 90K mile warranties..


1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..

If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!
