I need to replace the tires on 2014 Challenger RT (its a 6 speed manual), right now I have the Goodyear's from when I bought it. They are the 245/45 20 on stock rims. These are dry rotted in the treads & not to crazy about the ride. I am thinking either the MT Street Comps or the Michelin PS4, its about a $100 difference between each tire, which is a big difference. The Michelin's seem to be the better option from what I can see, but the price difference is hard to swallow. But, I do want a better tire This isn't my daily driver but I will drive it on nice winter days, never going to see snow for sure. Curious to see if anyone has both of these tires to compare them to or maybe a better option which I am not looking at. TIA

My car uses different sizes b/c its widebody so take this for what it's worth. It came with the Pirelli A/S and they were simply awful. I got just over 10,000 miles out of them before needing to replace. I drive spirited but no long burtnouts or anything. 10k miles!? Terrible.

I sucked it up and spent the money on the Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons and they're so far and away better, it's NOT EVEN CLOSE. I poured over reviews and by most accounts, Michelin makes a superior tire to its competitors. They come with a premium and it was a big friggin' number to pay but I'm happy I did.

In your size you might look at Continentals, they get high marks and tend to be a more moderate choice in the money category.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires. The best tire out there for the money. I am in SoCal and drive them all year. My last set on the GTI had 22k on em and even after a dozen or so canyon runs they looked good enough to get the car sold with no questions.

It might be better to buy some take-offs from a newer R/T - the stock goodyears are pretty smooth. There's plenty of them out there and you will probably end up paying less for a new set of wheels and tires than you would for the same set of tires from a shop after mounting and balancing. As long as the offset works, you will be fine.

I just put Goodyear Eagle GT2's on the rear and so far no road noise or anything out of the ordinary. Decent price too.

unless you want just summer tires, it's very hard to go wrong with Conti DWS06+ all seasons. Very good grip and manners. Add 2PSI since the sidewalls are on the soft side. But really you need at least 275 wide tires on 9.5 rims. 245 is a crime against man and beast.
