245/45R20 tires
245/45R20 is the 20-inch size on the big Mopar sedans and coupes: the Dodge Charger and Challenger R/T and Scat Pack from 2011 to 2023 and the Chrysler 300 in several trims. It is also the GT and Premium size on the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the front size on the Lexus LS 500. Below are real prices for 230 tires in stock, three picks from all-season to summer, and the decision that matters most on a rear-drive car with a V8.
Yes, this fits your Dodge Charger. 245/45R20 is the original size on the 2011-2023 Dodge Charger.
The sticker inside the driver's door is still the final word, because trim and wheel package can change the size. Back to every Dodge Charger size.

Summer or all-season on a 20-inch Charger
A Charger or Challenger Scat Pack sends a big V8's power through the rear tires alone, and the tire's compound decides how much of it reaches the road. A summer tire grips harder in the dry and the wet but loses grip quickly below about 45 degrees Fahrenheit and should not be driven on snow. An ultra-high-performance all-season gives up some ultimate grip in exchange for usable traction in cold weather. Our premium pick, the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar, is a summer tire; the Kumho and the Continental are all-seasons.
If the car is garaged from November to March, the summer tire is the better tire. If it is driven year-round north of the Sun Belt, choose an all-season or keep a second set for winter.
Mach-E and LS: different priorities, same size
On the Mustang Mach-E GT and Premium this size carries a heavy electric crossover, so the load index matters more than the speed rating. Choose an extra-load tire with at least the index on the placard; the Continental listed here is a 103Y XL. On the Lexus LS 500 it is the front tire, and a quiet touring-oriented all-season suits the car better than a stiff summer tire.
On every car on this page the tread wears faster than on a smaller wheel: a 20-inch tire with a 45-series sidewall is wide, short and carrying a lot of weight. Rotating on schedule, where the fitment is not staggered, is the simplest way to make a set last.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 245/45R20 tire is 245 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 45 percent of that (about 4.3 inches tall), and it mounts on a 20-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 28.7 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.
Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.
Our three picks, side by side
One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Kumho Ecsta PA51, $262.08. A UHP all-season from Kumho, carrying a 45,000-mile tread life warranty on replacement (non-OE) tires and a 500 treadwear grade in a representative size. In this size it is listed as. It is a good all-weather choice for a Charger or 300 driven daily.
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06, $276.99. One of the most widely recommended UHP all-seasons, with a 50,000-mile warranty on non-staggered fitments. The listing here is the DWS06 rather than the newer DWS06 Plus, marked, an extra-load tire that also suits the heavier Mach-E.
Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar, $283.96. A summer performance tire with a UTQG of 220 AA A in exactly this size and no mileage warranty. It is the tire for a Scat Pack or R/T that sees dry back roads and the occasional track day, not for winter. Expect the shortest tread life of the three.

Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber. Prices per tire, from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.
Winter and this size: summer tires are not winter tires
Many tires sold in this size are summer tires, and the manufacturers advise against driving them in near-freezing temperatures: the compound hardens, grip drops sharply and the tread can crack. They also carry no M+S or 3PMSF marking, so a car on summer tires fails Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law outright on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, unless it is all-wheel drive with at least 3/16 inch of tread; fines start at $130. If the car is driven year-round in a state with real winters, either run an all-season or all-weather tire in this size or keep a second set of winter tires, often on a smaller, narrower wheel that is also less expensive.
None of our picks in this size, the Kumho Ecsta PA51, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 245/45R20 tires cost?
Expect $95–$141 per tire for a budget brand, $141–$263 for a mid-range tire like the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06, and $263–$428 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar. A set of four therefore starts at about $380. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 245/45R20 tires?
245/45R20 is original equipment on Dodge Charger (2011-2023, R/T/Scat Pack 20 in), Dodge Challenger (2011-2023, R/T 20 in), Chrysler 300 (2011-2023, S/C), Ford Mustang Mach-E (2021-2024, GT/Premium 20 in), Lexus LS 500 (2018-2024, front), Lexus LS 500 F Sport (2018-2024, 20 in front) and Lexus LC 500 (2018-2024, 20 in front), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 245/45R20 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kumho Ecsta PA51 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 245/45R20 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
