What tires are coming on the 300 SRT-8

[Brian_R170]

Anybody that's checked out a 300 SRT-8, did you catch which brand/model of tires were on it?

I've tried to check out all the pics that people have posted, but the only one that clearly shows the markings on the tire is the one of the Magnum SRT-8 concept. It has Continental ContiSportContact (they're not even the ContiSportContact2). I had a '99 Mercedes SLK230 that came with ContiSportContacts from the factory and they were terrible. I thought they were OK at first, but by 8000 miles, they were extremely noisy and dangerous on wet roads. They were at the wear bars by 11K miles. They were 245/40R17 and the car had only 185HP/200ft-lb. I can't imagine how long they'd last with 425hp/420ft-lb and an extra 1000lbs of weight

When I order my Charger SRT-8 next year I am going to specifically tell them I only want the 3 season tires and I will just get a different set of alloys for the 3 season tires and slap the winter tires on the OEM alloys.
