This was my Challenger when I was driving it home from Texas after buying it. Got stuck in a winter storm north of Denver. 707hp and summer tires on a rear wheel drive car. Not fun!

Neither do the rest of us bro but sometimes ppl get caught out coming back from cars and coffee or just a nice weekend drive..... happens.

A LOT of ppl DD their Hellcat. Thousands do actually..... so plenty of ppl getting caught out in the rain all the time which is why the Cont Extreme Contact Sport 02's are the ticket...... Its just water bro its the same shit u use when washing ur car its not that dramatic to get caught out in the rain.

I NEVER drive my cars in the rain EVER

Drove mine in the rain on way home after picking it up at the dealership.
First and last time it was intentionally driven in the rain.

I bought my car to enjoy it. It will see rain being I drive it almost every day when it isn't in storage for the winter. The paint has not melted off so far:rolleyes:

You have the Nitto NT-05s correct? I would not drive those in rain either. The 555r2 have been fine for me in the rain. The 1st 555rs I used for daily driving shortly after they came out. Some say they don't like them and could be different with the roads in their area but I have never had an issue driving in down pour as long as the tires had enough tread on them

Correct at the time. I’ve since switched all four corners to the G2s just in case, which should be much better. Still do not plan to drive in the rain but you know…shit happens!

Haven't ended up in rain or snow yet, and hope it stays that way.

It's different with the GT AWD, and TRX. Those were bought specifically for the days the Challenger isn't allowed to go out.
