The Dodge Durango is unique in the three-row SUV segment: it's available with a naturally-aspirated V8 or the 710-hp SRT Hellcat. The right tire depends on whether performance or family utility comes first.
Common Dodge Durango tire sizes
Durango SXT, GT, Citadel (2011-current): 265/60R18 (base), 265/50R20 (GT, Citadel, and the standard R/T).
Durango SRT 392: 295/45R20; the R/T comes standard on 265/50R20 with 295/45R20 optional.
Durango SRT Hellcat: 295/45R20.
Most Durango owners replace in 265/50R20 or 295/45R20, the two most common sizes across trims.

Best tires — Durango R/T, SRT, and Hellcat
The SRT models use 295/45R20 — a wide, low-profile performance SUV size that is optional on the R/T.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4: the best max-performance all-season for R/T and SRT owners, with excellent wet and dry grip.
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+: an excellent alternative in 295/45R20 for R/T owners wanting genuine all-season performance capability.
For Hellcat owners who want year-round usability, an ultra-high-performance all-season in 295/45R20 — like the DWS06+ above — trades a little peak grip for zero seasonal swaps.

Frequently asked
How much do Dodge Durango tires cost?
265/50R20 (standard trims): $130–190 per tire. 295/45R20 (R/T, SRT): $160–230 per tire. A set of four installed: $520–760 for standard, $640–920 for performance trims.
How do I know when my Durango needs new tires?
Watch for tread worn down near the wear bars, cracks in the sidewall, vibration that was not there before, or a set that is simply pushing past six years old. On a heavy three-row like the Durango, worn tires stretch your wet stopping distance more than on a light car. If you are unsure, a shop can measure tread and give you a straight answer.
Should I replace all four tires on my Durango at once?
If it is all-wheel drive, yes. Mismatched tread on an AWD Durango strains the drivetrain, so replace in fours. On a rear-wheel-drive model you can sometimes do two at a time if the other pair still has plenty of life, with the newer tires going on the rear. When the old set is worn or aged out, four at once is simplest.
What should I budget for tires on a Dodge Durango?
It depends heavily on trim, since the performance-trim sizes cost more than the standard ones; the cost question above breaks that down. The bigger money-saver is buying tires that fit how you drive, so you are not overpaying for grip you will never use. A local shop can give you an out-the-door quote including mounting and balancing.
