I am a little late with this post, but I had the same issues with my 09 challenger. The car came stock with Goodyear Eagle F1’s. I gave everyone a heads up on one of the challenger forums I am on to check their tires. I managed to get 4 replacement tires for the car. I had to pay a few bucks because of tire wear. The Goodyear tire dealer prorated the tires and the the new ones I got were the same brand and style but at a hugh discount. But better to be safe with new tires than take a chance and blowing one at high speed.

Here is what I wrote and also some pics of the tires. This issue beats the hell out of me.

The tires are on the 2009 SRT, and they are the Goodyear F1’s, rear 255’s.

This is a post to remind people to check their tires. I have the original tires on the car from when I bought it from the dealership; also I am the original owner of the car. I have never done any burn outs in this car and this car has never seen any foul weather. The car is a 2009 and the mileage is less than 9000 km, I posted a pick of this odometer. When the car is stored for the winter it`s in a heated garage and the tires sit on plywood instead of the concrete floor, also I raise the car up on jack stands so only about 50% of the full weight of the car is resting on the tires over winter storage.

I decided to do a tire rotation on the car and when I had a look at one of the rear tires tread I couldn`t believe it. I posted a side pic of the tread, so you can see that there is still a lot of tread on the tire.

The other rear tire had a small crack in it around the same area. I am glad I had a look at my tires, like I said I don`t do burn outs but I like to open the car up and drive at high speeds. The last thing I need is a tire blow out.

The only thing I can think of is that this batch of tires had some flaws in them.

Like I said, this is a reminder for people to check their tires.
