The Dodge Challenger is an American muscle car with modern performance engineering — and a tire selection that matters a lot when you have 375–808 hp going to the rear wheels. The right tire depends on how you drive and how much power you have under the hood.

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 seeking a slightly more comfortable character 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 R/T 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. Avoid standard touring all-seasons on the Hellcat — they are not designed for the sustained power delivery.
What OEM tires come on the Dodge Challenger Hellcat?
Pirelli P Zero and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are the most common OEM fitments on Hellcat and Scat Pack variants. Both are high-quality summer performance tires — replacing with the same model is a valid choice.
