    I only have 8700 miles on the original tires, so it will be a while before I do anything. I guess I would like wider tires on the back, but without having to buy new rims. I have the SXT Plus with the 20 inch rims, and I have no idea what my limit is with width for using those same rims. Is that what you have? My car came with 245/45 20s. I would probably do exactly what you did.

    I have an SRT. My wheels are 9 inches wide. The wheels on an SXT Plus can be 8 inches or 9 inches wide. Do you have the standard or upgraded wheels? If your wheels are only 8 inches wide, you will be limited to a 245/45-20 tire. Maybe your dealer can confirm the size.
