OK folks, I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction...

Is there a 'definitive' thread somewhere on LX all season tire options? Specifically 18" for an '06 Magnum R/T.

I'm looking for suggestions on tire sizes. Stick with 225/60R18, or go with a 245/60R18, or even a 225/50R18? Etc. Etc.

Currently looking at a set of Bridgestone Potenza G 019 Grid's or even Goodyear Traction T/A H's. Anything else I should look at? I'm definitely looking for a good sporty high performance all season, preferably with a nice directional tread pattern for looks. :wink:

If it helps any, I'm in Toronto and do not do much winter driving.

Thanks guys and gals!

I know people don't like "grandpa-looking tires", but the Michelin Primacy MXV4's simply are one of the best street tires out there. Expensive, yes, but what's your life worth? They come in stock 225/60-18 and a Hi-Po 245/45-18.

We just bought a charger r/t for my girlfriend because we're going to have a baby so safety matters the most right now. It snows here so I looked at tirerack.com and there was a general tire "Altimax" and it had the best rating in all categories by far.

I have had very good luck with the 255/55/18 General Grabber UHP's. Check em out on the Tire Rack's web site. I think they are $112 US. I ran them all last winter and they did very well. One of the best rain tires ever, and they look pretty mean, fill up the wheel gap nicely. I put 100 lbs of sand bags in the trunk in deep snow. Much better than their low price would have you believe.
