Default If you're getting bad wear on the front tires...

Have the alignment checked. I had been having some major issues with the handling of my R/T - hard to keep it straight, especially on bumpy or rolling bumps. I took it to my dealer and they said all was well with the alignment. Took it to the Ford dealership where my son works. They put it on their machine and the front end was toed in quite a bit, which explains a lot of what I was experiencing. Also, the caster was out some. Now, the car is much nicer to drive - straight and true.

After 28,000 the dealer rotated the tires, and they were a mess. Mine have the Portugeuse made Continentals on it. When looking for a replacement tire, the dealer said the Conti's were both expensive and bad. The wear and performance bears this out. Perhaps some of the bad handling is due to the tires.

Do the RT's in the Norht America come with the Conti's. I find it trulyremarkable that a car of this caliber has only H rated tires.

I have Goodyear Integrity tires on mine...and the car was built up here in the Brampton, Ontario plant.
They handle real nice!

My 06 R/T came with Contis. I still have them - they're jjust not on the car . I put Goodyear Assurance tires on - much better IMO.

My buddy who owns an SXT. He had to replace his Goodyear Integrity tires after only 34K miles as his car would slip and slide. Took it to the Dodge dealer - they did nothing; said tires are still good. His last resort was to change to Michelin which work very well. No more slipping and sliding.

I had Continental ContiProContact on my 2006 R/T within 2 years the tires were bald. Called Continental and got $75.00 credit per tire on a new pair or replace with Continental ContiProContact or General Altimax HP. I went with the General Altimax HP. They run quiet and smooth.

Default RE: If you're getting bad wear on the front tires...

mine came with barely legal conti's....changed to Goodyear Comfortred..word of advice...ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE IN THE TORONTO SNOW THIS YEAR. Bought Toyo G02 plus tires...now these are amazing and being S rated i feel they handle better than the H rated crap on it..and smoother ride too. GY ok for summer only and a harsh ride.
