Dodge Challenger Hellcat Puts High Performance Tires to the Test

In a unique tire review, Jonathan Benson of Tyre Reviews takes the powerful Dodge Challenger Hellcat to a small track to test a variety of ultra-high-performance all-season tires. The Challenger is fitted with seven different sets of tires, including new models from Pirelli and Falken. Benson evaluates the wet and dry handling, braking, comfort, and noise of each tire.

Benson acknowledges the difficulty of determining tire noise in a powerful muscle car like the Hellcat, but he notes that Continental tires performed well in this aspect. In terms of wet handling and dry braking, Continental takes the top spot, while the new Pirelli tire excels in wet braking and dry handling. The Falken Azenis FK460 also performs impressively, ranking third overall. Benson concludes by considering factors such as treadwear, warranty, and cost to determine the best tires for individual needs.

Although the tire test pushed the limits of the Hellcat, this powerful car remains composed. Benson’s review provides valuable information for buyers looking for the best tires to complement the performance of their vehicles.
