Dodge Charger: Tires — General Information / Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but not
limited to:
- Driving style.
- Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause uneven
wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns
will reduce tread life, resulting in the need for earlier tire replace- ment.
- Distance driven.
- Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or higher, and Summer
tires typically have a reduced tread life. Rotation of these tires per the vehicle
scheduled maintenance is highly recommended.
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless
of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire
failure. You could lose control and have a collision resulting in serious injury
or death.
NOTE:
Wheel valve stem must be replaced as well when installing new tires due to wear
and tear in existing tires.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as
possible. Protect tires from contact with oil, grease, and gasoline.
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining
when your tires should be replaced.

The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many characteristics. They
should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tire inflation pressures...
