How we ranked these tires for the chrysler 300
We started with the latest model-year's OEM tire size; 235/55R18; and filtered our catalog of 22,000+ tires to those offered in that exact size. From there, four parallel rankings:
- Best all-season ranks on a weighted score: tire type matches passenger car segment, season is "all-season", premium brand bonus (Michelin / Continental / Bridgestone / Pirelli / Goodyear / Nokian).
- Best budget ranks on cost-per-warranty-mile; the lower the better. Premium brands get no bonus here.
- Best quiet ranks on the EU tire-label dB rating; lower is quieter.
- Best winter filters to tires marked 3PMSF severe-snow rated or all-weather class, with a small premium-brand bonus because winter-compound R&D is capital-intensive.
For sedans and compacts, the all-season touring tire below is the best default; long warranty, low cabin noise, reasonable cost per mile. Switch to the quiet pick if highway droning is a deal-breaker; switch to the winter pick if you see significant snow each year. Use the side-by-side comparison above to weigh the trade-offs against your specific driving; highway-heavy, winter-state, performance-oriented, or budget-constrained.

ALL 4 TIRES ARE DISINTEGRATING FROM THE INSIDE OUT ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC. THEY LOOK GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT HE SAID THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TO TAKE BACK TO COSTCO FOR EXCHANGE. THEY ARE ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THEN 30000 MILES OUT OF 90000 WARRANTY. BRAND IS MICHELIN HYDROEDGE, WHICH IS NOT LISTED IN DESCRIPTIONS. DON'T HAVE DOT # AS CAR IS AT THE MECHANIC.
BUBBLES IN BACK LEFT TIRE, WHEEL SHAKING, TRUNK CLOSED ON OWNERS HAND. THE DEALERSHIP HOLLYWOOD KIA DID NOT TAKE CAR BACK NEXT DAY, WE LEFT KEYS WITH RECEPTIONIST WHO REFUSED TO GIVE A RECEIPT, KEPT 2000 DEPOSIT AND IS SELLING THE ONLINE FOR 2000 MORE THAN WE PAID. MY NAME STILL ON TITLE.
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY WIFE MADE A LANE CHANGE ON THE FREEWAY AND AS SHE CROSS THE LANE DIVIDE. THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE FAILED. THE TIRE PRESSURE DEFLATED RAPIDLY CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND DISCOVERED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DO TO A SLIT IN THE SIDEWALL. THE RIM WAS DAMAGED AND THE TIRE COULD NOT BE SAVED.
I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 IN 2012. THE CAR CAME WITH 4 COOPER TIRES, CS4-265R17. IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 I NOTICED A WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO BE SERVICED (BALANCE/ROTATION/ALIGNMENT). AFTER ALL THIS WORK THE CAR STILL WOBBLED. SO MECHANIC TOOK OFF EACH TIRE TO INVESTIGATE. WHICH HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE BANDS IN THE TIRE HAVE SEPARATED. I PURCHASED A NEW TIRE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO RISK THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD.
