#43 of 76 tires by romannumal Jul 05, 2006 (4:46 pm)
i have 25000 miles on my mag and i am getting ready to buy some new tires. i will not buy the same cont. that came with the car. i was told that the tire that came on the car was underrated for the car. i also was told cont. has a new tire that they came out with that is right for the car. dose any one know about the new tire or any ideas on what tire i should get and about the price for a good tire. thanks Replies to this message: mike5806 (Jul 06, 2006 5:34 am) hardhawk (Jul 06, 2006 8:22 am) romannumal (Jul 07, 2006 5:16 pm) hardhawk (Jul 08, 2006 4:13 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: romannumal (Jul 05, 2006 4:46 pm) I recently purchased a dealer's demo 2005 special edition SXT and it came with Goodyears' Integrity tires. Have not had them that long but the car does not pull nor have any other tire related problems. You might try the tire rack website in the area of the consumer survey to check out what other people have written.

Replying to: romannumal (Jul 05, 2006 4:46 pm) I put Cooper Touring SLE's on my '05 Magnum RT. They had the exact replacement 18" size and the difference between them and the Continentals was incredible. Ran a little over $100 per tire installed, balanced, and new stainless valves. I could not be happier with them. Replies to this message: romannumal (Jul 07, 2006 5:16 pm) hardhawk (Jul 08, 2006 4:13 pm) romannumal (Jul 09, 2006 9:31 pm)

Replying to: romannumal (Jul 07, 2006 5:16 pm) Some of the Continentals were and some were not. On the RT, if you got the protection package with side curtain air bags and the cabin air filter, the self sealing tires were included. They are NOT true run flats, but have the goop inside that is supposed to seal a leak if you get one. The self sealing ones had the Contiseal name on them if I remember correctly. The bad thing about the self sealing tires is that they cannot be repaired for a leak if the self sealing feature does not fix the problem, they have to be replaced. The regular Continentals can be repaired like a normal tire. Replies to this message: romannumal (Jul 09, 2006 9:31 pm)

#49 of 76 RT Tires by 2005rtmag Jul 20, 2006 (6:32 pm)
The Contiseal tires have a maximum inflation pressure rating of 51 psig. In my opinion the Dodge recommended pressure of 30psig is too low. The car rides great, but it doesn't handle that well at that pressure. I pumped mine up to 45 before driving from the NC coast to Al, a trip of 565 miles. It was mostly interstate 20 with a speed limit of 70mph. I set the cruise on 80 mph whenever possible. I got 22.8mpg for the whole trip. My 2005 RT has around 2000 miles on it. I like the Continentals okay so far. I checked with Michelin and they have a 235/55x18 tire that looks interesting. I don't know what the cost would be.

Due to vibration problems in the steering wheel (alinement is OK)... I'm on to my third set of tires in two months! 4 brand new Integra's failed radial displacement test. Stiff tire. Upgraded to four more Goodyears softer sidewall and more gentle ride. Unfortunately, all four failed (out of round) within three weeks (progressively got worse). Very frustrating. I've ordered 4 new Michelin tires. Tire store stated that they have seen more trouble with Goodyear than other brands. Could be a sales pitch, but we'll see. Still waiting to be real happy with this Magnum.
#51 of 76 Normal tire wear? by acejack Jan 13, 2005 (11:42 pm)
My Magnum RT has gone 23,000 miles mostly on hard surface roads. The tires have been rotated 3 times and were regularly checked for proper inflation. The tires show no indication of misalignment or other such mechanical problems, however, the tread is now worn down to the wear bars. While everyone is astounded that the tires are worn out, neither Dodge nor Continental warranties the mileage on new car tires, so I need to buy replacements. After checking with several tire dealers, the only replacement tire I can find in the right size are made by Continental. I have a lot of faith in that tire.
