    How many miles did you get out of them? I'm a nitto tire fan. Have had them on my truck for years.

    I dumped my F1s after delivery because of the 3 season crap. I purchased these A/S performance Falkens Ziex's ZE950 for under $700. Lucky to have sold the F1s on CL for $500. They have a great ride and handle the rain and snow very well.

    I run the Nitto Invo's they handle pretty good in the rain ( when they are faily new ) considering the width I am running no hydroplaning issues at all.
    I would not run them at all when the temps get anywhere near freezing though.

    the Continental ExtremeContact DWS.

    [They're recommending the Pirelli P Sevens or the Continental ExtremeContact DWS.

    The tire size I'm looking for is 245\45 20". My Challenger is a 2012.

    Can anyone provide any feedback on this?[/QUOTE]

    I have a 2014 Challenger SXT that is my daily driver including the winter months in Ontario Canada. I've got over 53000KM or 33000miles on her and need some tires before the winter
    The Michelins just won't cut it for another winter.
    The research I have done points to the Continental ExtremeContact DWS.
    because it's a true all season tire including the Snow.
    Hope this helps.
