The Dodge Challenger is an American muscle car with modern performance engineering, and a tire selection that matters a lot when you've got 375 to 797 hp going to the rear wheels. The right tire depends on how you drive and how much power you're running.
Common Dodge Challenger tire sizes
Challenger GT (RWD): 245/45R20; GT AWD: 235/55R19.
Challenger R/T: 245/45R20 (standard), with 275/40R20 rears on some configurations.
Challenger R/T Scat Pack: 245/45R20 (standard), 305/35R20 (Widebody).
Challenger SRT 392: 275/40R20 (standard) — Dodge never offered a factory 392 Widebody; the 305/35R20 jump is reserved for Scat Pack and Hellcat Widebody trims.
Challenger SRT Hellcat / Hellcat Redeye: 275/40R20, 305/35R20 (Widebody).
Challenger SRT Super Stock: 315/40R18 — the widebody drag-oriented factory trim.
Best tires — standard Challenger (GT, R/T)
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+: the best all-season choice for Challenger GT and R/T owners who daily-drive the car year-round. Excellent wet grip, available in 235/55R19 and 245/45R20.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4: a step up in dry performance with genuine all-season capability. The right choice for R/T owners who drive the car aggressively year-round.
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6: a strong summer tire option for R/T owners who prioritize warm-weather grip over all-season utility.

Best tires — Scat Pack, SRT 392, and Hellcat
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S: the factory choice for many high-performance Challenger variants and the benchmark summer performance tire. Available in 275/40R20 and 305/35R20. If you want the best grip available: this is the tire.
Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02: an excellent summer tire with strong wet performance, well-suited to Hellcat owners who drive in variable weather.
Bridgestone Potenza Sport: excellent steering response and dry grip. A valid alternative to the Pilot Sport 4S for Hellcat owners who want a slightly more comfortable ride with comparable grip.
Drag strip tires
For the drag strip: Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S or Nitto NT05R in the rear. These are DOT-legal drag radials — street-legal tires optimized for straight-line launches, not road course use. They require warm-up (burnout) for best grip.
Hellcat Widebody owners running drag radials: the 305/35R20 rear space accommodates these without clearance issues on many builds.

Frequently asked
How much do Dodge Challenger tires cost?
Standard Challenger sizes (235/55R19, 245/45R20): $130–180 per tire for quality performance all-seasons. Hellcat Widebody sizes (305/35R20): $200–280 per tire. A set of four for a standard Challenger: $520–720.
Can I put all-season tires on a Hellcat?
Yes. The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ is available in 275/40R20 and 305/35R20 and handles the Hellcat's power with proper technique. Max-performance all-season tires work year-round in Georgia's climate. Just avoid standard touring all-seasons on the Hellcat. They're not built for that kind of power delivery.
What OEM tires come on the Dodge Challenger Hellcat?
Hellcat and Scat Pack variants ship from the factory on dedicated summer performance tires. Check your sidewall for the exact OE model — replacing with the same tire is a valid choice.
Should I run summer tires or all-seasons on my Challenger?
It comes down to how you drive it. Summer performance tires give you the most grip when it's warm, but the compound goes hard and loses traction once temperatures drop toward freezing. If the Challenger is your year-round daily in West Georgia, a max-performance all-season is the smarter call. If it's a warm-weather toy, run the summer rubber.
Why do the rear tires wear out so fast on my Challenger?
It's a powerful rear-wheel-drive car, so the back tires do all the work putting power down and they pay for it. Sticky performance compounds trade tread life for grip on top of that. Rotating on schedule helps some, but plan on replacing rears more often than fronts, especially if you enjoy the throttle.
