I could switch to another brand but I really doubt they would cover any of that cost. I think I will just wear these out and then try another brand if they don't come up with anything reasonable.

As for the last option of using a known set of good wheels/tires, I again doubt they would go through all that hassle.
We do that all the time. It just may be hard to get another HC charger.

All HC wheels are the same regardless if it's a Charger or Chally. Dealers already take too much pride with the car and don't even allow test drives so thinking they would bother swapping the wheels is a long shot. The SRT392 wheels would bolt on though.

Was there any difference with drag wheels out back? Before they unbalanced themselves...

Not that I felt and I was paying attention to that. So I'm thinking the fronts are an issue obvi.

I haven't seen a set of HC tires, but if they aren't to be installed in a specific way ( inner/outer) or directional) I think they ment to flip the tires on the rim. It's possible their suspension may be a tad bit too soft, causing excessinve jounce/rebound, creating a cupping effect on the edge of the tread, giving you that slight vibration and why the new tires fixed it for a little bit. I'd have them roadforce matched, and physically inspected for abnormal patterns on the edges. Also, should get a lash check on the rear, did the tech get specs from their techline? (GM's techline can be hit/miss, they either throw a hail marry or you get a guy who was there when they developed the car and knows every nut and bolt)

Directional tires and you can set the suspension to 3 different settings on the fly. I think the rear wheels have spun in the tire. It happened with the drag radials so its not too hard to see it happening with the rears on the street.

I can believe it. If the rim contact area for the bead is to smooth, absolutely. Long story short, Porsches experienced tires collapsing at 120mph back in the 70's, here the bead would lose contact and collapse, so they took a media blaster to the magnesium to rough it up, never collapsed or slipped again.

I wanted to but I think someone wasn't too keen on it. I feel like that will happen next go around. I think they did the same on the new z28?

Wasn't keen on messing with the powder coating on the part of the wheel you see. Hopefully on the drag wheels the glue will hold. As for the stockers, I will let dodge mess with that.

Mark the stockers and see what happens with them.
