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: 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.

#34 of 76 Tires by sweetabee Apr 25, 2006 (9:07 am)
I am extremly surprised that the tires on my Magnum 2005 RT needs new tires. They only lasted 28,000 miles.   I also have a pull to the right. They aligned it once and now it is happening again.   Help!   Is there a different tire I should be using. This is a great car, I really enjoy it.

Replying to: sweetabee (Apr 25, 2006 9:07 am) I was told by the dealer that the stock tires that came on my 2005 Magnum - Continental self-sealing tires - were a real problem. That's why the dealer replaced them at no charge with less than 6,000 miles of wear.   That said, it isn't unusual for stock tires to wear out after 28,000 miles. The tires that came on my previous car - a Saab 9-5 wagon - wore out after 30,000 miles.   You can try the Goodyear tires that Dodge is now putting on the 2006 Magnums.   The pull to the right seems to be a prevalent problem, which your dealer should know about. Check other postings in this forum or on www.dodgeforum.com for more on this problem.   Good luck.
