hey, I could use a little help, I'm somewhat ina bind. I dont know which vehicle to buy, the srt-8 charger, or the srt-10 truck. I LOVE both these vehicles very very much.As much as i love thesrt-10, the gas mileageisnt great, but I live in michigan so it might be a lilttle betterin winter due to the fact i could put sand bags in it, whichI couldnt with the srt-8, but I love the performance aspect of the charger and the fact it getsdecent mileage. I'm really stuck and could use any help that you guys could offer.

 

HI...I POSTED AWHILE BACK ABOUT THE SNOW TRACTION,OR LACK OF . I'M IN PENNSYLVANIA,AND NOT A BIG SNOW,BUT NO , AND I MEAN NO TRACTION AT ALL WITH THE TIRES ON THE CHARGER! MY VAN IS EVEN BETTER IN SNOW! THOSE TIRES GRAB IN THE DRY WEATHER,UNLESS YOU PUNCH THE THROTTLE AND LITE EM' UP. NEXT SNOW WE GET,THE CAR STAYS COVERED, TOOOO RISKY!![sm=scared09.gif].

 

You can get snow tires for the SRT cars which improve traction in the snow by about 20-25%. But the problem is that they are pretty pricey. My advice is just try to avoid driving the car or truck in the snow as much as possible. With rain its not to bad just be very careful with the throttle.

 

Hey, thanks for the advice guys. When i get the srt-8, it will be my daily driver, so its not gunna be to easy to avoid all the winter conditions. But when I find my car, I can promise you that I'm goin to drive it like its meant to be driven. unfortunately, I have to trade in my 05 ram daytona and most likely sell my chevelle, but it will be worth it. If any one else has some extra info they wouldnt mind sharing I would greatly appreciate it. thanks a lot guys

 

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Get some 18" wheels with Blizzaks, and these cars are just fine in the winter. In fact, my SRT8 Magnum is my winter beater, and I live in Calgary, Alberta. This "don't drive it in the winter" business is the same nonsense that I got at the Dodge service desk when I went to ask about a tire and rim combination for the winter. Just go to tire rack and get them to put together an 18" wheel and Blizzak combination for you. I use the LM-25's.
