Sweet upgrade buddy!
With your experience, what do you think the Hellcat Durango will be like?
If they didn’t announce the Charger RE, I’d already be in the same market as you were.
Enjoy that Trackhawk.
Not sure if they work for the SUV, but I loved the Yokohama V-Rated snows on my Charger.
I think you’d like the current nice wheels on sticky summer tires and then swap the performance snows versus the All-seasons. If you’re really driving in the winter, that’s going to be a blast!
And mo pics!

Thanks J, I am thinking you won't be able to touch a Hellcat Durango for less than $100K with admin. fees.
They will probably end up producing less Hellcat Durangos than the Demon.

I am trying to decide with the awd if I really need snow tires or just a good set of all season tires.
I have been looking at the new Michelin Sport All Season 4 tires as they are rated very high by Tirerack and others.

From a fellow Wisconsinite, just get all-seasons since you have AWD and some weight. I played that game with my RS. The snows sacrifice too much precision and handling in my opinion. I went with Continental DSW06's and never had an issue. For the few times it snows enough to make you a little nervous, they never batted an eye. The only way I could even get the ABS to fire was if I hammered the brakes.

Sweet machine! But dam 10 mpg city STOCK is not gonna make a good DD. Imagine a tune thing will get 7 mpg lol. Kool toy tho and a total sleeper!

This is why I couldn't pull the trigger on TH. I had an WK2 SRT, and it got 12 mpg, but the worst part is how it ate tires and brakes.

But man, the desire for a TH is strong. Like I said, I got an X3M as a daily. So far, I'm getting 18 mpg. I think some of you may be surprised how quick this thing is...

Tune should net him better MPGs. Of course that is driver dependent.

I’d anticipate that ballers who can afford these vehicles are not the very least concerned with MPG, tho.

I appreciate the advice. I will probably go with the MPAS 4's.

My lifted Ram Daytona running 35's got me used to shitty mpg. I was always pulling into a gas station.

I'm far from being a baller, but because of a strict personal savings plan and decent trade-in allowances, I have been able to work my way up through the years to end up with a Trackhawk with a clear title.

I was using it liberally. You, of course, are doing well. Good on ya.

Enjoy that BEAST of a ride.

He would surely drive it faster so better gas mileage is unlikely but yea I guess if u can afford this as a DD ur not too worried about the extra couple G's one would spend a year in gas.

Just a PITA to have to go to the pump so often tho.

Been there done that with high power RWD cars but a true V-rated performance snow tire is great when under 50 and much better than an A/S when you really need it. It really depends if you’re willing to have 2 sets of wheels/tires. If you are then max performance in 3 seasons, performance snows in winter.
And yes, MPG is a sacrifice many of us are willing to make.
