I tried a few different tires on my manual Hellcat Challenger after getting sick of constantly losing traction. In this video, I'll compare my experiences with these different tires.
The first tire was the one that came stock on my manual Hellcat Challenger, which was a Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season. After getting tired of losing traction on even the slightest pull, I decided to try out the Nitto 555R street legal drag radial. That was a great tire but with very limited tread life and also questionable characteristics in the rain. I finally settled into the current tire that I'm running, which is the Continental ExtremeContact Sport, which I feel has the best handling characteristics all around in dry or wet conditions. I should note that I ran all tires in the stock size (275/40R20) to avoid any issues with the tires bulging off the rim or rubbing in the wheel well.
Watch this video to hear my experiences with each tire. There's also a few pulls in the name of science to showcase the level of traction that the Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires provide on a manual Hellcat Challenger with this much power and rear wheel drive traction only.
