What tires did you put on your Challenger?

Price mostly. The best price I could find on Michelin 255/80R 22.5 is $707.79. Also, it says they're summer tires. We'll be in VA in late October. Not expecting snow but icy conditions are not out of the question.


Best price I could find on the Toyo 265/75R 22.5 is $479.65. We put those on the front last year.



Price difference is $230 per tire, or over $900 total for the 4 rear tires. We don't expect to have this RV beyond next year so this is the last set of tires we will put on this RV.

I still don't believe it and not sure of the deal at the time, but last year I bought a brand new Goodyear G670 RV 245/70R19.5 for $150 for a Goodyear Tire & Truck Center. The date code was only 2 months old. The tire was regular $600. If I had somewhere to store then I would have bought 6. But I also was worried about date code as the tires (except for spare) would not be needed for years. I was told they had special promo but another dealer that was closer wanted $700 for the same tire, $100 more than the supposedly MSRP

I only researched Goodyear as it is my OEM tire and I am a cosmetic guy so I wanted all my tires to match, even if I have a flat.
