From the 2022 Challenger SRT Super Stock, with the highest horsepower of any production V8, to the standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, every trim of the 2022 Challenger was built to perform. The last thing you would want while you’re zooming around in your Challenger is for a tire to blow out. You can prevent this, and other tire emergencies, through proper tire maintenance. Keep reading to learn how to properly maintain your Dodge tires.
The first step in tire maintenance for your Dodge Challenger is knowing the correct tire size to equip your Dodge with when the time comes for new tires. The 2022 Dodge Challenger uses different tires for different trims, which include:
To confirm the correct tire size for your Dodge Challenger, look on the Vehicle Certification Label or the Tire and Loading Information placard. Dodge recommends replacing the front two tires or the two rear tires as a pair.
If you are unfamiliar with how to read tire sizes, follow this guide:
For example, the tires for the 2022 Dodge Challenger Super Stock have a recommended tire size of 315/40R18. This tire would have a 315 mm. tire width, 40% aspect ratio, radial ply construction, and an 18 in. diameter wheel.
2022 Dodge Challenger Tire Types
The 2022 Dodge Challenger comes with one of two tire types: all-season or summer tires. All-season tires are designed to give traction in all seasons. All-season tires can be identified through the M+S, M&S, M/S, or MS designation on a tire’s sidewall.
Your Dodge may also come with summer tires, which are designed to give traction in wet and dry conditions, but not snow and ice.
If you intend to drive in conditions lower than 40 degrees on a regular basis, you should consider installing snow tires. If you’re interested in installing winter tires near Lexington, please contact our service team in Georgetown or Paris at Dan Cummins for details regarding availability and proper selection for your Dodge.
New tires for your Dodge Challenger can cost anywhere from $150 to $500+ each, depending on the tire size and type. You can get a specific quote by calling our CDJR service team in Georgetown at (502) 334-0374 or in Paris at 859-340-1340.

You just apply online, with no hard credit check, and get a quick response back. This service allows you to get the tires you desperately need for your Challenger now and pay for them over time.
A key factor in increasing the lifespan of your Dodge Challenger’s tires is keeping your Dodge’s tires properly inflation. Underinflation could lead to decreased fuel efficiency, irregular wear, poor handling, and a shorter lifespan for tires. Overinflation could lead to unusual wear, poor handling, a rough ride, more road hazard damage, and overall decreased tire lifespan.
You can find the correct tire pressure on the Vehicle Certification Label. You should check the tire pressure at least once a month, or anytime the Tire Pressure Monitoring System light illuminates. You can check the tire pressure by following these steps:
We also suggest that you ask your service technician to inspect your tires and check the tire pressure every time you come in for service at Dan Cummins CDJR.
If you notice any signs of uneven wear, you should immediately come in for a tire rotation. During a tire rotation, we will check and set the tire pressures and rotate the tires and wheels as recommended. On our service menu, we estimate a cost of $14.95 for a tire rotation. If you come in for tire rotations at the recommended intervals, your tires will wear evenly, leading to a smoother ride, a longer tire lifespan, improved safety, and increased traction in extreme weather conditions. If your tires have a more complicated tread design (such as all-season tires), this is even more essential.
If you are interested in bundling services, we also offer an “Every 6,000 Miles” service, where we rotate your tires and change your engine oil and filter for $44.90 (cost may vary depending on your Challenger’s needs.) If you want a specific quote for a service appointment, please contact our service team in Georgetown or Paris.
If you notice uneven wear after a tire rotation appointment, or that your Dodge is veering to one side of the road, you feel a vibration on the steering wheel, or you hear high-pitched noises coming from the tires, you may need to come into Dan Cummins CDJR for a tire alignment.
Tire alignment is the process of adjusting your Challenger’s suspension. Your factory-certified service technician will check and adjust the caster, camber, and set tow, check the tire pressure and wear, and inspect the steering and suspension (adjusting when necessary).
At Dan Cummins CDJR, a two-wheel alignment costs $79.95 and a four-wheel alignment costs $89.95. These prices may vary based on the parts necessary and labor costs. If you want to schedule a tire alignment for your Challenger in Paris, click here, or in Georgetown, click here.
If you notice a vibration in your Challenger’s steering wheel, seats, or floorboard, or increased tire wear, you might need a wheel balancing service. At Dan Cummins CDJR, your service technician will use a tire balancing machine to spin the tire and wheel and find the imbalance. Then, he/she will install the correct tire weights to balance the tires.
We offer a Wheel Balancing service for $39.95, where we check the tire pressures & adjust them as necessary, balance all four tires, rotate the tires, inspect the tires and wheels for wear or damage, and torque the wheel nuts as recommended.
