    What size wheel and offset? I didn't think that you could mount 315s on the front and not have clearance problems.

    Yes, I have a set of Falken's on my 2006 300C. They had an 85,000 mile warranty. I have had them for over a year and they wear nicely but I rotate them every 6000 miles (every other oil change). The only thing is the are a hard rubber and do no do well in the snow. I've gotten stuck twice. Make me miss my RAM!!!!

    Looks more like 255's for the front
    I am more concerned with the flatness of the uninflated rear tires.
    Hopefully just the picture.
    And once again, sorry for the Hi-Jack :)

    LOL, I've heard there were people like you :)
    I buy cars that I enjoy driving.

    But I was GLAD the dealer only drove MY 2010 for 1k per year,
    (only 8,500 miles before I got it in 2018)

    I currently have the new Cooper Zeon RS3-G1 tires on my Challenger (245/45-20s on front and 275/40-20s on rear). They perform great and are reasonably priced. You should consider these.

    The guy who makes the wheels I bought runs the same tires and wheels on his Challenger. He said as long as I don’t have the all wheel drive, I won’t have any problems.

    What concerns you about the “flatness”?

    I am sure it is just the picture
    but the right side of the rear tire tread looks like it drops off faster from center than the left side
