Dodge Challenger 2008-2023 Tire Size Guide
The Dodge Challenger is an impressive vehicle, but it needs to be fitted with proper performance tires to unleash its true potential. This is even more important for the most powerful Challenger with over 1,000 hp under the hood, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, which requires the highest-quality tires. If you own this or any other Challenger, read along to find out about tire sizes for this model, tire recommendations, and a guide on how and when to replace your tires.
Dodge Challenger Tire Sizes
There is a large number of tire sizes available for Dodge Challengers depending on the year and trim level. The easiest way to identify the correct size for your specific model is to look at the currently mounted tires. The dimensions should be easily legible on the sidewall of the tire. If you are unsure whether the mounted tire is the correct size or want to look for alternative sizes, head to your owner’s manual or locate a tire sticker or placard in the vehicle. The typical location is the driver’s door jamb, glovebox, or fuel tank cover.
You may also retrieve the tire dimensions at your local dealership after presenting them with the vehicle’s VIN code. Last but not least, you can use online tools or ask a JEGS Tech Specialist, who is always willing to help you make the right choice.

Best Tires for Dodge Challenger
Depending on your driving style and typical weather conditions, various suitable tire options exist for your Dodge Challenger. If you use your muscle car strictly in dry weather for sports driving and want the most grip possible, semi-slicks like Mickey Thompson ET Street will be a great option.
However, in most cases, such a vehicle will require a more flexible tire choice - in other words, a tire that offers excellent performance but is suitable for daily driving. As such, you should be looking at UHP (Ultra High Performance) tires, including Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Of course, there are several options to choose from. The only cases where the selection is narrow is when you need to opt for winter tires, which can be difficult to get for the SRT Demon model.

When to Replace Your Challenger Tires
You should check the state of your tires at least once every quarter and inspect them thoroughly when changing from summer to winter Challenger tires.
First, you should look for any visible damage to the tire. Typical cases of tire damage include slashed side walls from hitting curbs or punctures in the treads from sharp stones or nails.
Second, you should be looking at the tread itself. New tires have treads deep of about 11/32” or 8 millimeters. The law regarding the minimum tread depth varies across states and countries but is generally 2/32”. As such, you should replace your Dodge Challenger’s tires by then. However, you should also keep in mind that even when still legally compliant, the tires may not offer their best in terms of handling anymore. The treads are designed to improve braking and channel water away from the tire's surface. This can‘t be done as effectively with shallow tire grooves, so replacing tires sooner than the 2/32” imposed by the law is recommended. Remember that depending on your car’s geometry settings, the center tread might still be okay, while the sides may be completely worn down. In such a case, you should go ahead and replace the tires.
In some cases, manufacturers also have wear indicators on the tires. These are small raised sections inside the tread grooves. Once the tread wears down flush with the indicator, the tires should be replaced.
Last but not least, check the DOT marking on the tires. This is a four-digit number located on the tire and indicates when it was manufactured. The first two digits stand for weeks, and the second two for the year. For example, DOT 3623 means that the tire was manufactured in the 36th week of 2023. Typically, tires keep their proper characteristics for about four years. After this time, they harden up and do not provide as much grip, which can make driving more dangerous in performance situations. This also depends on how the tires have been stored and in what conditions they’ve been used. However, tires that are six years or older are, in all cases, beyond their recommended use span.
Replace your tires whenever they are damaged, old, or worn down. You should care for your tires, especially with performance cars like Dodge Challengers. Powerful cars need superior tires with good grip.
How to Replace Your Dodge Challenger Tires
Most drivers will replace their Dodge Challenger tires with a specialized shop. The advantage of doing so is, besides others, that your wheels can be rebalanced at the same time. Using professional equipment, tire changes are also far less time-consuming. However, specific workarounds exist, so changing tires is possible at home. Here’s how to go about it.
You start by dismounting the old tire. To do so, completely deflate it. Then, pry the tire bead away from the rim and work your way around the tire until it completely detaches and can be taken off. To mount the new tire, you need to apply mounting lubricant (soap and water also work) to the bead of the new tire and the rim. Then, you place the new tire onto the rim. Using a prybar or similar tool, lever the tire's bead over the wheel rim and work around the entire circumference, starting from the valve stem.
If you’ve now decided that the time has come to replace the tires on your Dodge Challenger, head to JEGS, where you’ll be able to choose from a wide variety of UHP, slick, drag, and all-season tires. With extensive customer service and low prices, JEGS is the ideal place to source your robust muscle car tires, even if it is a rare model such as the SRT Demon.

Challenger of the Day
It takes the right combination of Excitement, Enthusiasm and Energy to be the quintessential Challenger of the Day. Stacy McNabb Griffin has that perfect mixture and with a muse like Clyde it is no wonder. Please read Stacy's story, check out her amazing photos of Clyde, and follow the Instagram Link at the bottom of the article!!!
Many thanks to Challenger Joe for featuring #ClydeGreenF8! Our quest for the perfect ride began last year at Camaro Fest in Maggie Valley, NC, where we reminisced about Smokey & The Bandit and fell in love with America's classic muscle cars. We scoured Facebook Marketplace, buying a beat-up Camaro and Firebird, eager to get them restored and hit the open road "south bound and down". But soon, we realized we'd bitten off more than we could chew.
After fruitless weekends of restoration work, my husband surprised me with a LastCall 2023 Challenger RT WideBody ScatPack Swinger Edition in F8 Green - the same color as my 1992 Chevrolet S-10 from the day we met! After 25 years of family life in minivans and Suburbans, we're thrilled to cruise in our new Challenger on weekends, windows down and music blasting.

Rubyred
Challenger of the Day
This Awesome Cuda Tribute by Ruby Guerrero Workman is definitely a labor of love! Dedicated to her mom, Maria Romero Guerrero, it is a great modern rendition of the original Cuda. Now a word from the proud owner:
“This is my beautiful beast Rubyred. When I was a kid, my mom had a red ’71 Cuda and it’s what started my obsession with muscle cars! When my mom became ill with Cancer, I looked around for a Cuda I could restore but my budget wasn't great. I bought Rubyred and decided to do a total conversion Cuda kit for my mom. She passed away four months after I bought her. So it became a project in memory of her. I know she’s grinning ear to ear even though she never saw it completed. I'm still doing things to her but I love her to pieces. Even if don't win I hope people appreciate my love of muscle cars and the labor of love I took on!”
Ruby has a contagious passion for Challengers and is also the creator of the Facebook Group Dodge Challenger Owners & proud of it! ;). Check out the group and click here to connect with Ruby on Facebook and Instagram too!

Superman SRT
Challenger Joe
There is nothing mild mannered about the Superman SRT!
Scott Sonsalla’s 2012 Dodge Challenger is one powerful car. More powerful than a locomotive and faster than a speeding bullet too! Superman graphics and logos all around, with red LED’s and claw marks, really make this beast stand out. Let’s hear a few words from Scott:
“I am a car enthusiast. I have a great family and they are my priority in life. I do as much as I can myself with my car and my boys drive Mopars as well. We do a lot together between cleaning and working on our cars. It has been a great way to spend more time together.
Since I bought my car, my boys got me involved with Instagram and car shows. I have met so many people from all over. I’m always myself, really easy going, and really enjoy meeting new people. Car shows and social media have helped me meet people from around the world with similar interests. I hope others can have as nice of an experience doing things like I have!”
With almost eighty thousand followers on Instagram Scott is a real superhero. His Iconic photos and edits along with his Positive attitude are the special sauce for his success. There are very few people I know on social media who post relentlessly every day like I do. I like to think that people are waking up smiling looking at my photos or the photos I've shared. The truth is I wake up looking at Scott's Challenger every day and it always makes me smile!

Challenger of the Day
This sinisiter Challenger is an awesome build that was first contemplated back in the early seventies! Check out John Cimino's Scat Pack Shaker Story:
Just love the journey with this car. I grew up in Newark NJ and a friend of mine had a 1973 Challenger with a 318 and 3 speed. As a teenager we cruised in that car until the wheels fell off. I swore that one day I would own a Challenger of my own. Well that day came and I bought this car as a Basic Black Scat Pack and just kept adding to it to make it my own. All red carbon fiber accents. Painted the SHAKER in Redline Pearlcoat. All engine accents from American Brother Designs. Oil Catch can from Billet Technologies. Borla Atak Exhaust. Marquee Red/Black Rims. 275/40/20 Cooper Tires. Barton Shifter. Custom Splitter from Downforce Solutions. Tiger Stripe Taillights from Luxe Auto and the list goes on. This is my daily driver with 84,000 miles on it. If you have something you enjoy you should use it! I still look back to admire it every time I park.

Street Freak
Challenger of the Day
Check out this amazing Tribute Challenger and story by Glenn Merrill! Street Freaks is a modern muscle car with direct ties to the original Street Freaks Road Runner. Glenn's Street Freak Challenger started as a concept drawing before being turned into a reality. This award-winning show car is also well at home on the street and the strip.
“The whole inspiration for doing the Street Freak theme goes way back to the 70's. Street Freak graphics are a tribute to a 69 Road Runner I used to own and race years ago. The first car to carry the design was a 69 Road Runner that Jeff Scozarro did at his paint shop Jeff's Place in California. It was done as a project for the car magazines and was the 1st car to go solo on the cover of Hot Rod magazine.The car then traded owners for a bit and was left in Salt Lake City at a salvage yard since it had blown an engine. My boss at the time and his brother (Howard and Wayne Field) purchased the car, put an engine in it and raced it for 10 years. I graduated college and went to GM as a designer working in the Camaro Studio for interiors (Best job of my life). When I came back out to Utah, I traded my snowmobiles for the Street Freak Road Runner and raced it out of St. George for a few years. Because of family issues, the car was sold and last seen in California.
