The look is good. Have you picked up much road noise with that tire? I can see a benefit if you live where it snows and you actually drive your Challenger in snow.

I think more than anything, the tires fill out the wheel wells better and improve the stance of the car. It has sort of an older muscle car look now. Nice!!

I like it. I was thinking of getting the raised wite lettering for mine when it needs new tires.... OR getting the yellow tire paint and doing it. Are those tires good enough for the power and performance of an R/T?
Doesn't the large tire in the rear make the speedometer wrong?

I like the look of the white letters. But are you seeing any rubbing when you compress the suspension? Looks pretty tight in the wheel well now.

.............(still more mods to come..)........
There is NO rubbing at all.. unless I take it offroad and stuff one of the tires, it will not rub..
These tires are 10.25" wide.. I could have gone to almost 11" before it would rub..
For anyone with an R/T
The exact same tire in 18" would work,
they only make 2 in 18"
a 30x9.75 & 32.6x10.7
put the 30 in front and the 32 in back..
would look sweet..
and they would fit on your stock rims,, or
without any other mods to the suspension..

I am hoping I won't have to drive it in snow, but this is Oklahoma, so you never know..
(I am more worried about any ICE storms, which we have at least once a year..)

These will smoke as well as any other tire..
They totally mess up my Odo, and Speedo.. at least 10% off now..
So it racks up 10% less mileage also,,I can deal with that..
What I can't deal with is my Cruise Control will not work anytime above 50mph..

Seems I remember seeing somewhere that you could calibrate the speedo through the computer. Check your manual and if that fails try your dealer. Let us know what you come up with. If I get the time and remember I will try to check into it also.
