RE: Spare donut tire
RG ,what i was told and what I got. I was told that all Challengers come with that set of tire glue and a air pump thats supposed to get you going unless you blow out an entire tire. He then said for $100 you can order a compact spare tire. I did and my Challenger came complete with that compact tire and jack and lug wrench. Yes it is a 18 inch and I have the 20 " wheels but I'm not worried just to get me to service dept, or home, compact will do. Uh da da da thats all folks, Fat Cat[sm=gears.gif]

Does anybody actually have the spare tire for their Challenger? I told the salesman when I ordered the car that I wanted one. He eventually told me he couldn't order one because the SE didn't offer them, but that he'd order a donut spare separately. Two weeks after I get the car, he now tells me that while he can order the wheel for the donut spare, no manufacturers yet are making the required-size tire. Has anyone else encountered this?

Not that I recall. I'll check when I get home.

Paladin, does Crush have a space under the trunk mat for a compact spare? The 09 does. Not that it does a lot of good, since apparently only eight tires were manufactured and are in a warehouse someplace in Louisiana, so right now you can only buy a spare WHEEL. Unless you happen to order an R/T, in which case the complete tire and wheel come with the car. Maybe. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssh! [&:]

Well, for anyone needing a spare tire, the 17-inch Chrysler 300 wheel offered by Discount Tires indeed does fit the Challenger. It and a cheap full-size tire go for a total of $182. Of course, you lose a good bit of trunk space with it. Hence, I'll probably go ahead and keep my order in for the compact spare, whenever they're available.

RE: Spare donut tire
Sorry about the bad Harley picture. My first Harley was a 1991 FXRS convertible.
