New Charger Tires...Recommendations please.

[jdip]

Time for a new set I am looking for something to use in all weather just curious to see what some of you have and any input.


Thanks!

If it's a police package, check out the Michigan State Police test results to see what they use. They seem to write the book on cruisers and tires, brakes, etc.

Thanks for the resource that helped quite a bit. They seem to have used stock tires in the eval for the 2009 and the Police Package has custom OEM tires.

Is it a police package charger or not? Whats the tire size you need?

I've got an '06 R/T, with 225/60 R18 tire size. When I bought it used, it had new General Altimax HP tires (Grand Touring, All-Season). These tires were awesome. Great in the warm months and cornering, excellent in the rain, and pretty freakin' good in the snow. But they only lasted 30,000 miles (bald), so I just replaced them with Sumitomo HTR A/S P01 tires (High Performance, All-Season). The Sumitomo's have a 65,000 mile/5 year warranty. I've only put 5,000 miles on 'em so far. They're pretty good in the warm months, and after yesterday's Blizzard, I got around just fine. The only thing I don't like about the Sumitomos is that when it's cold outside, if you let your car sit for 8+ hours without moving, they somewhat flat spot. Takes about 10-15 minutes of driving for them to round out. Other than that, not a bad tire, especially for $106 a piece!

Don't get Goodyear Integrity tires. I have them on my 08 Magnum and they are JUNK. Uneven, premature wear. Rotated properly and alignment checked twice. Garbage tires.

I have the General Altimax HP (235-55-17) on my 06 CVPI that I just put on. I wanted to put another set of Goodyear Assurance Tripletreads, which was a damn good tire, but I got tired of them being on back order for months on end.

Yokohama Avid Envigor H&V's...highest rated tire on Tire Rack in the High Performance All-Season category...Continental Extreme Contact's are a pretty good tire also. IIRC, I believe the PPV Charger uses Pirelli P-Zero's as OEM if that's what you want to stick with (because of bidding and what not).

the Tripletred may be a good tire, but for the 17 and 18" wheel sizes, most of the tires are only "H" speed rated (up to 130). Sure, most cruisers don't get that fast on a daily basis, but a V8 Charger can easily do 150. My civilian V8 Charger has the speed limiter set to 155 and after I removed the limiter it was moving past 160, but about then I remembered that my tires were rated to 149 so I backed down. Fun day, though! Haven't been that fast since, even sold my helmet and reset the computer to stock specs, sold the programmer to an officer in DC.


Mine currently has a now-discontinued tread design from Yokohama, the Avid V4S. Did ok on the track and whatnot but not so great in the snow last year, I've also noticed that they don't grip very well when cold. I can spin them very easily when the temperature drops and not even leave much rubber on the ground. I doubt the Avid W4S tires would do much better. I'm looking at the Yokohama Parada Spec-X or the Continental ExtremeContact DWS for when I replace the tires in the spring, they both have great reviews.

PPV Chargers have the Continentals on them from the factory. Continental is a crappy tire.

Sorry guys computer self destructed the other night leaving me internet-less. Its a civi Charger with stock and cpd1212 I have integrity tires on there now when I got the car in July the threads were good and the rears are close to shot now. In the rain they are awful and after the first big snow this week my car cant grip the road at all. I agree the integrity tires are complete junk. I was originally gonna go with the Continental tires but seems like Ill be looking into the Assurance Triple Thread first.

I'm running a set of Perrelli (sp) all seasons on mine. They are a good tire...alot better than the Cooper CSVs that I had, which were a lot better than the factory Continentals.
