    Just read the Tire Rack reviews. They are the experts. They test all types of tires and also provide consumer ratings.

    Pirelli has a nice A/S tire, though they are made in Mexico. They come stock on some of the Challengers

    P-zero is what the factory installs and to replace them you can check cost on those if you like them. Or you can go with the most expensive Michelin brand $400+ per tire depending on tire size. Most expensive on SPWB because those are the largest tires among the Challenger models.

    I find Continental brand very reasonable in price with great treadwear ratings in A/S tires.

    It's your choice depending on what you will use your car for i.e. commuting, weekends only or combo or track. It all varies depending on your driving habits and behavior.

    Yes Continental does have nice tires, I have E load A/S on my 2006 Ram 1500.
    German engineered if I am not mistaken.

    Im totally lost when I look and feel they see this and feeling taken advantage of. I can judge a distance by sight almost exact but numbers just throw me off. Just want good tires. Hankook Ventus ST Rh06 265/35 R22 102W are what is on currently. They are still ok, just have a slow leak in one, small chunk next to rim is cause.

    Drive slower and more conservative to get the most mileage and rotate/balance tires. Keep your air pressures at proper PSI.
