- 2019 Challenger WB Redeye
I'm so confused!
2019 Challenger Widebody Redeye with 11" factory wheels, no suspension changes.
Will be driven in UK all weathers except snow.
In the OEM 305/35 I can get:
I had a look on Summit Racing for inspiration (international shipping is pretty good with them) but I've ruled out drag radial options due to wet weather requirement.
Regarding other sized tyres - 315 and 325 - I'm tending to think that the speedo inaccuracy outweighs width improvement. There's a couple of other tyres that become available but I'm not particularly enamoured with options. There's Dunlop SP Sport Maxx (very poor grip after 50% wear on my GTR), Goodyear Eagle F1 (I'm not sure these are high performance), Continental ContiSportContact 5. I have the Continentals on my Ute, I replaced factory like for like as grip was good enough in all weathers but it's only 525hp with manual trans and I'm not so confident that they wouldn't be like the P-Zeros on the Challenger.
If I went to 335/30s then these could be worthwhile. Will they fit front and back without rubbing and is a 11" rim OK or a bit narrow for them?
They would be 1/2" shorter which I'd worry could look small in the wheel arch. The speed would read a little faster than actual so that would work as I wouldn't need to worry about tickets. I think the width gain of 1.2" would be significant.
Other than a few P-Zero variants (which I'm not willing to gamble on) the only choice seems to be a Porsche fitment Michelin Pilot Super Sport with an A rain rating (108Y) at £457.
I'd appreciate any thoughts please.
