Re: {Chrysler 300} Re: 15 inch tires

As we move into the EV world, cars are getting heavier than even our beautiful brutes, due to the weight of the batteries. Load ranges are clearly marked on modern tires, so it should be relatively easy to determine if a tire is up to the task of using on an original letter car.

I believe the GVWR on a modern 2023 Chrysler 300 is right around 5000 lbs, which is more than our older letter cars. Just check the load range on the tire you're looking at, or let the tire dealer know the weight of your car up front.

Lots of good advice from the other guys here. I’d stay away from any Chinese tires on a letter car. First because they likely won’t withstand the weight, and obviously because I’d prefer to spend ass little as possible with the Chinese.
I’d look to something like a Cooper, General, Hankook, etc if looking for a more economical tire. Unfortunately I have issues with tires aging before I can wear them out. On the large cars, many modern tires are made for lighter cars… and issue when you go rolling down the highway in the heat of the summer or cornering. Something to think about and research.

Ironman is Chinese Private label tire made for American Tire Distributors. I would not recommend them. There are plenty of tier two and tires that are much better in the are close to the same price range. Tier 2: General, BFG, Hankook Yokohama, Kumho Tier One: Conti, Michelin, Bridgestone. Don't be fooled by Goodyear. Also I would look for an extra load tire given weight of these cars.
