Tire discussion...Looking for tires for my Daughter's Charger. 2015 srt, I went to...

67 posts · Joined 2020 #1 · Feb 3, 2026 Looking for tires for my Daughter's Charger. 2015 srt, I went to TireRack and found a set. As hard as I try I can not decide. "Don't blame me ,I am old". ; )
The tires are RADAR DUMAX AS . (That was DUMAX, not DUMASS! Category rank 18 of 17. Cost is 570.52, shipped. Will these tires work? Reviews look good? The tires she has are the ones that came on the car, scary, barely holding air. She never drives only 24K miles on it.
I appreciate any help or advice as always.
Thank you.--------------------------------------------------------

You can probably do better for the money than these no-name tires from a Far East tire mill in Thailand.

It always kind of amazes me how so many people absolutely cheap-out on tires for expensive vehicles. I see lots of Mercedes, BMW, etc. with "Mojave," "Arizonan," and similar made-in-India trash from Discount Tire. Shop around.

You might consider a few options. First, these tires are also available for purchase through Wal-Mart's website for the exact same $142.63 each. They ship same-day, and if you have Walmart+ membership the mounting, balancing, and road hazard coverage is $18.00 per tire ($72.00 total). This might be a better value and a bit more convenient for you?

Second, you might consider the Armstrong TruTrac via Wal-Mart's website. They are rated a bit lower insofar as UTQG (440AA), but cost only $102.47 each with a 65K treadwear warranty. These are in my opinion a better value than the Radars. BTW don't be swayed when it says "CUV/SUV tire." It seems the vast majority of vehicles with this size are SUVs and vans.

I am running a few sets of Armstrong tires at present and have been very pleased with them. They're a Miami company with all of them also made in Thailand (ugh!). Armstrong used to be a huge player in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

I also have used their cheaper cousins, the General Gmax AS-07's. they worked nearly as good as the extremecontacts in spring/summer/fall/rain, not quite as good in the snow, and didn't last as long. got 50K honest miles out of the DWS's, only about 40K from the generals. currently running Pirelli weatheractives...expensive, but damn good in the ice/snow and in the summer and fall.

Sumitomo, Hankook, or Khumo are probably the lowest level tires I'd ever consider....have Hankook Synergy on my Plymouth Duster, but that's because it's one of the few tires you can find in 70 series, 14" rim diameter other than the obscenely expensive BFGoodrich radial T/A's and Cooper Cobras.

That said, I sort of understand where the OP is coming from. Name-brand tires are often a hundred bucks apiece more expensive. Wow.michiganpat said:
the obscenely expensive BFGoodrich radial T/A's and Cooper CobrasFor sure. They are simply sticking it to the classic car crowd here. Neither of them are particularly good tires (never have been), but when you've got to have that period correct RWL look there's no option.
