I had a RWD stick shift Lincoln Ls with a 50/50 weight balance. After watching your video, the Challenger handles better in the snow then my Lincoln did. I can't wait to get my 2021 Challenger R/T. I am used to Canadian winters.
Nice man. Love how these Mopars handle the snow. We have seen nothing like this at all this year. Not liking the 235s ? I wanted get 235s for the width for next season. My wet and dry traction is rough with the 225s. Maybe I will stay with the 225s for the new tires I’ll need for next season. I have 4 seasons on my Blizzaks. Man the Challenger. Does amazing. Good guide for the height of the tire. Thanks for the good information.
I've made a detailed review after 4 years of daily driving 365 days a year, let me know if it answers your question! ruclips.net/video/xMfauR6HVoo/видео.html
About 5in of clearance, gravel not a problem, its the amount of snow that might stop you. A have other videos driving through snowy dirt hills: ruclips.net/video/TBHR7QTuqcw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/n1LzSzb454g/видео.html
Did you sell it for those reasons? Did you have winter tires? The windows sills is an easy fix...slide a card between the rubber door sills and the windows and it will release it instantly.
Not the reason for selling and no winter tires as far as the brakes it was a manual so would just down shift didn’t want to get rid of it but had to have others
@@deathbusa not that the Brakes are super impressive but in winter condition if you were runnings those stock summer performance tires, you are not going to stop with any kind of Brakes. Tire rules the braking distance first and foremost l. What do you drive now? Do you miss the RT 6 speed?
Yeah I miss it but I also have a 70 charger,2000 Dakota rt 06 300 c awd and a lifted 97 ram didn’t have to drive it in winter to much but when I did those summer tires where a hand full had to sell because I was off work with an injury maybe I’ll buy another
Looks like Maine where I grew up, God I hate thinking how bad that is for your poor car. Luckily the snow is quite limited in Boise but I may buy a commuter car anyway if I have to.
@@user-sl1ry6op7m yeah! As long as you get a set of good homologated Winter tires you will be fine. The traction on those year was primitive and I used to drive in winter without it. It was much better going uphill.
Somebody knows how to drive a car!! Thanks for sharing, Mike!
Congrats on the 1K! I liked the Caddy story, things have definitely changed since the 70's.
Thanks Bud! Those are fond memories!
Wow. You have a lot of snow coming down there. The Challenger is doing great 👍
It does work out with the Challenger in winter. LOVING IN! 👍
Nice video! Thanks!
Iam really thinking to buy CHALLENGER but i was worrie how it going in winter :)
Its a RWD but the traction control is very good since 2015.

Hey, I'm looking to get an rwd challenge. I'm from Canada too. Just wondering how does the challenge performance in Canadian winter.
@@zaffirk7726 The challenger R/T with the 6 speed manual handled great in the snow. I never got stuck with the car.
No complaints. I have many videos about that subject and winter drives.
Thanks for the snowy ride along and congrats on the subs!
🤘👍
Congrats on 1K Subs as well.
Thanks buddy! Finally

Thanks! 235 is good but its the 55 profile that is a bit too small...
Do you think a Dodge Challenger 2014 SXT would survive Montréal winters?
Real easy with rust proofing and winter tires
Hey Mike, just curious, does your paint sustain a lot of damage in the front end driving in the winter weather through all this crap
Yes! Many rock chips, a big one on the windsheild, on the roof edge and the front lower quart panels.
I've made a detailed review after 4 years of daily driving 365 days a year, let me know if it answers your question! ruclips.net/video/xMfauR6HVoo/видео.html
Would you recommend taking it on a steep gravel driveway or not enough clearance?
About 5in of clearance, gravel not a problem, its the amount of snow that might stop you. A have other videos driving through snowy dirt hills: ruclips.net/video/TBHR7QTuqcw/видео.html

Tires are a factor too
Hi, so I am looking to purchase a 2014 challenger, but I live in North Dakota, how do you think it will hold up in the snow here?
It's pretty flat there right? not much Snow but a lot of high Wind. A good set of winter tires will make it safe.
@@HemiMike thank you. Yes it flat, but I will look into getting winter tires
Congrats on 1k Mike! Long time coming my friend. (excruciatingly long actually).
You're right! This has been a long wait...Thanks for being there is the early days...Cheers!
Do you still have studded winter tires? Have you tried winter tires without studs?
Yes I still do. Yes I did run non studded tires. Its fine just less grip and braking power on ice.
What brand of tires is that ?
Nokian
hey Mike gr8 driving! Would you take ti out if you had to drive up and down 45ish% hills?
45° ? Really? That is steep! From a dead stop might be too much to ask
Question. What is the widest rim I can purchase without requiring spacers on 2018 challenger hemi ?
11 in the back and 10.5 fronts
Had a 2014 rt the brakes were worthless in the snow but the worst part was the doors

@Hemi Mike I just got a 2010 charger sxt, found out only the driver power window works, and it briefly got stuck down at the car wash
Looks like Maine where I grew up, God I hate thinking how bad that is for your poor car. Luckily the snow is quite limited in Boise but I may buy a commuter car anyway if I have to.
Bahh...snow is water, salt is the problem...
@@HemiMike It's the road salt, I saw what it did to cars in New England, gone in a mere decade of cancer.
Yeah its not has bad as it was back in the 90's but still is bad.
You call that a blizzard?
You can see 100 meters ahead! LOL
Salut Mike, j'ai acheté des jantes d'acier 18" de charger v6 avec des pneus 225/60R18 pour garder la même hauteur de pneu que l'original
Bon choix! 👍
I thought the left lane is just for passing......
Yes you're right and I was in the center lanes on a 3 lanes wide highway passing 8 slower véhicules on the right lane.
Hey mike do you think a 2010-12 challenger is a good first car? I’m thinking about getting it but worried about snow.
Where do you live?
Hemi Mike Toronto. My school is close to my house maybe like 5 minutes so I won’t be driving that much but I also want to learn to drive early.
@@user-sl1ry6op7m yeah! As long as you get a set of good homologated Winter tires you will be fine. The traction on those year was primitive and I used to drive in winter without it. It was much better going uphill.
Hemi Mike okay thanks a lot man. Also what tires do you recommend
Nikian Hakkappellittas 235/60x18
How are you not slipping and sliding ?
The traction control ans stability assist is amazing on these car since 2012
@@HemiMike how do you turn it off
You hold the TC button for 7 seconds.
Wow Lake Arrowhead & Big Bear have nothing on this level of snow ❄️
Are you driving a Challenger up there too?
Hemi Mike ....I wish 😒...
Jus send it
