No spare tire

[1BAD383]

The 08 Challenger comes without a spare tire. Mine did not come with ride flat tires. Did yours come with ride flat tires?

[Super T]

All the other SRT models also come with no spare tire.

[bigsnake]

That is correct, use the goo or buy your own spare !

[1BAD383]

But ride flat tires are made. You can go for about 50 miles. Do you have ride flat tires?

[glhs837]

No other SRT-8s come with Run-flats,except maybe the Jeeps, but for sure none of the LXs do.

As far as I know they don't make a run flat that will fit over the brembo's.
I had to buy a full size OEM rim and tire !

Among the paperwork that come with my 08 Challenger, it had a booklet from Continental tires.It is called ContiSeal. I was wondering if anybody had an 08 Challenger with Continental tires? Or are they all Goodyear?

ContiSeal tires came on some of the LX's (not SRT's) and have some type of goo inside that can seal small punctures. Not run flats and from what I heard not always very effective.

contiseal tires are CRAP... they come stock on a LOT of early LX's and didnt last very many miles...

I would say get a full spare and carry it when you go on long trips. otherwise just have your cell phone.

the 18" spare that fits in the trunk area will not clear the Brembo Brake Calipers on the front brakes so you need a full size spare....OR

if you get a flat on the front you can take a god tire off the back and put it on the front and put the 18" spare on the rear.

Or use a 1 1/2" spacer on the front.

The Contiseals were so bad, we are getting cash from a class action law suit due to the very poor tread life. However I never had a flat with one, but have with their replacements.

Not just the Conti-seals are involved. The regular Continentals are too. The sealant in Conti-Seals rarely worked whenever I found one with a nail in it. The sealant would also cause a vibration in very cold weather.

to avoid any problems i ordered the spare tire for my '09 R/T....only $ 120

Doesn't the R/T model already come supplied with a run flat tire in the trunk ?

[juiceman]

No, a compact spare tire is optional on all 2009 R/T's as well as the SE's (not available on SRT8's). All Challengers come with a can of the sealant.

[stevesrt8]

Had run flats on a vette and trust me, you don't want 'em. They suck big time.

Lots of threads about a fix for this... do a little searching and you can paste together some more road hugging weight for your trunk.

Thats interesting, all the other LX R/T's have a least a runflat. Must be a cost cutter ?
