Check a different size against this vehicle
Type any tire size below; we'll compute its overall-diameter delta against the OEM 225/60R18 and verdict using the ETRTO ±3% rule.
Common upgrade paths
- Plus-1: 245/50R19; one rim size up, 0.06% OD change. Sharper steering, mild ride penalty, modest cost premium.
- Plus-2: 245/45R20; two rim sizes up, 0.18% OD change. Noticeable ride penalty, higher pothole risk, meaningful tire-cost premium.
Use the plus-size calculator to evaluate any rim step against the OEM size.
How to choose tires for the 2010 chrysler 300 touring-signature
The 2010 Chrysler 300 Touring-Signature ships from the factory on 225/60R18 tires mounted on R18 wheels. Only one approved fitment is documented for this model year, so replacement options should match the original size exactly unless a plus-size upgrade is being considered. The Compatible alternative sizes table above lists every safe substitution within the ETRTO ±3% overall-diameter tolerance.
Tire choice on the Chrysler 300 comes down to three trade-offs that matter more than brand loyalty: load index (must equal or exceed the OEM number), speed rating (must match or exceed the placard), and UTQG treadwear (higher means longer life, lower usually means stickier rubber). Owners replacing factory tires with the same compound class, for example all-season for all-season, generally see no change in ride characteristics or fuel economy. Switching categories (performance summer to all-season touring, for example) is where the trade-offs show up at the contact patch.
For 2010 Chrysler 300 Touring-Signature owners considering a plus-size upgrade, the safer option is a Plus-1 step (one rim size up with a 10-point aspect drop and ~10 mm of additional section width). Plus-2 is technically viable on this chassis if the alternative-sizes table lists a Plus-2 candidate within tolerance, but expect a meaningful ride-harshness penalty and a tire-cost premium of 30–60% per tire relative to the OEM fitment. For winter use the recommended pattern is one width step down (e.g. from a 235 to a 225) with the aspect ratio bumped up to preserve overall diameter; narrower tires apply higher contact pressure per square inch on snow, which translates directly into shorter braking distances. The plus-size calculator evaluates any specific rim step against this OEM size.
Before purchasing, verify the tire size on the driver-door placard of your specific 2010 Chrysler 300 Touring-Signature, since trim levels and option packages can shift the original fitment from what is documented here. The placard reading is the authoritative source per FMVSS 110, and dealers will reference the placard rather than aftermarket catalogs when validating warranty claims.

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.
