Dodge has selected Nexen Tire to be the rubber supplier for the new 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320, a streetable dragstrip monster that features the pavement pounding 392 Hemi V8 mated to a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission with class-exclusive transbrake. The tire, known as the Nexen N-FERA SUR4G Drag Spec, was designed in conjunction with Dodge and the performance engineers at SRT to create a street-legal drag tire.
“We are an incredibly passionate group of racing enthusiasts here at Nexen Tire with a strong motorsports heritage of designing tires that perform incredibly well on the track, but also can be daily street tires,” said Kyle Roberts, Marketing Director, Nexen Tire USA.
“To be selected by one of America’s favorite muscle car brands was humbling for Nexen Tire as we strive to build the highest in quality tires but still make them affordable for the average consumer. When other automakers are moving away from motorsports, Dodge jumps in with multiple cars that are race inspired. The Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is one of them.”
The Nexen N’FERA SUR4G Drag Spec will come in only one size, 275/40R20 102W. The tread pattern is non-directional and allows free tire rotation to extend the life of the tire at the drag strip. The proprietary tread compound is exclusive to Dodge and the Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320. The tire has been extensively tested around the country on a variety of tracks to ensure maximum performance regardless of the surface.
