2008-2023 Dodge Challenger (SRT LC)
TRIMS: SRT8, Super Stock, Hellcat, Jailbrake, Redeye (Includes Widebody Variants)
Finding the best tires for the SRT versions of the Dodge Challenger becomes a little easier, as the manufacturer opted for more popular 20 inch sizing options. Lionhart Tires specializes in OEM replacement tires for the Dodge Challenger SRT platform. Additionally, Lionhart offers unique and niche sizing options for aftermarket wheel fitments.
The SRT version of the Challenger comes equipped with 20 inch tires exclusively, however the width of the tires vary. The 2008-2014 iteration of the SRT8 comes with 245/45ZR20 and 255/45R20 sizing options. The Hellcat was introduced in 2015 and also came with 245/45ZR20, but removed the 255 tire and replaced it with a 275/40ZR20. Later into the Hellcat’s lifecycle, along with the Redeye and Jailbrake, original equipment tires came in 275/40ZR20 and 305/35ZR20. The stand out of all of these trims is the SRT Super Stock, which came with 315/40ZR20 tires. The table below shows factory tire sizes for the 2008-2023 SRT Challenger.

When Should Tires Be Replaced?
The two factors that suggest it’s time to replace tires on your Dodge Challenger are time and mileage. On average, most drivers cover between 12,000 and 15,000 miles annually. Most drivers will pass the miles their original equipment tires were intended to cover well before they hit their age limit.
Once tires go beyond five years old, it’s a good time to consider replacing them. Tires are composed of many materials such as rubber, kevlar, and chemicals. All of these elements work together to resist UV rays, temperature changes and environmental hazards. After the five year period, these materials and chemicals begin to break down and become less effective.

Dodge Challenger Tire FAQ
What are the best Challenger tires?
Because the Challenger is a purpose-built performance vehicle, the best tires depend on your driving style. For example, a driver who often participates in track events will require a different tire than a driver who only plans on street driving. It's also important to consider what seasons, temperature, and weather you will be using the vehicle in.
How long do Challenger tires last?
Every tire has a UTQG rating that provides information regarding number of miles the tire is expected to last. However, this number is an estimate. How you drive your vehicle has a big impact on the life expectancy of a tire.
What is the best tire pressure?
There isn't a magic number as every vehicle and every tire requires a different tire pressure. The best way to know what tire pressure to use is to check the driver's side door for a label that shows you the recommended tire pressure for that specific vehicle. Take note that this recommendation changes depending on the load of passengers, as well as cargo load. The tire pressure on the tire itself is not a suggested, rather the maximum PSI a tire can take.
How often should you rotate your tires?
Rotating tires isn't only Challenger specific. The typical tire rotation interval is somewhere between 5,000 and 7,000 miles. That said, specific cars and tires may change those numbers.
