#23 of 76 Re: Anyone else notice this problem with their Magnum Rt? [magnum29] by redrocket1 Jan 24, 2006 (10:14 am)
Replying to: magnum29 (Dec 24, 2005 9:57 am) Hi, I wanted to let everyone know that you now can purchase Cooper Tires for the Dodge Magnum. The 225/18s were released on January 17th. I just put a set on my Magnum and they were like night and day from what the factory put on there with their so-called "Continental" performance tire. The Cooper tires are "H" rated (high speed) very good in the snow and the ride and lack of tire noise is wonderful. Also the pull to the right went away. I did install the castor bolt kit to assist with the alignment.   After having to endure 30K with the original horrible excuse for a tire that Dodge put on a great car, I am loooking forward to some smooth driving and great handling.   Run!! Don't wait and get a set of Coopers today.

Replying to: albertabound (Feb 02, 2006 7:57 pm) Thanks! I have had great luck with Cooper tires on all of my other vehicles, so that is what I will replace my worthless Continentals with this summer.

Replying to: donnak1 (Mar 29, 2006 8:32 pm) Go to www.coopertires.com and plug in your tire size. It will tell you what products they have in that size.

Replying to: shakeyfitter (Nov 04, 2005 8:03 pm) What pressure does everyone run in their tires? The door sticker on my car recommends 30psig. However, the maximum pressure on the Continental tires is 51 psig. I think I will try about 45 psig to see what the ride is like.
#30 of 76 Changing to bigger tires by 300hemifl Jan 16, 2006 (2:54 pm)
I have been a 300C owner for 19 months and have loved every minute of it. My wife has loved the car as well, and instead of buying another one, we bought her a '05 Magnum RT with 14,000 miles last week. I see no problems (such as pulling) with the current tires other than some excessive wear. My wife would like some new wheels/rims for appearance purposes. I don't want to go to 22's since I feel this will really affect the feel/ride of the car, but would like 20s. However, the few dealers I have seen don't seem to know what they are talking about. They are giving me different answers (245/40/20.... or 255/45/20) for tires. Do I need 20 x 9 wheels or 20 x 8.5s? Also, what brand tires do you recommend? Goodyear Eagles? BF Goodrich? etc. I live in Florida and my goal is ride/comfort more so than speed since I'm hoping my wife won't be dragging around town. I really don't want to spend more than $2k total, and the wheels I like are going to run between $200-300 each. Thanks in advance for your help.
#31 of 76 Continentals on last leg by hardhawk Feb 15, 2006 (11:12 am)
Had my routine service done at 15,600 miles and found that I am 1/32" away from the wear bars on the Continental OEM tires on my 2005 RT. I have never had tires wear out this fast, and I do not drive the car hard. I am going to go with Cooper SLE Touring tires that have just become available in the exact replacement size. I will never buy another set of Continental tires and if they are standard on a car I want I will require that they be replaced before I buy it. Such poor tire life is simply amazing in 2006.

Replying to: hardhawk (Feb 15, 2006 11:12 am) I had the same problem with my OEM continental tires.The dodge house in Sherman Tx. replaced them for me at minimal cost. I now have 32,000 miles on my RT and have very little tread ware. There is a lot of differance between OEM and after market tiers by continental.
