I bought a 2008 Dodge Charger daytona from chapman Dodge in las vegas, nv. They sold me the vehicle brand new with 22" tires. The tire are hitting the fenders and cutting into the tires. I contacted Chrysler corporation and they said in an email that Chrysler corporation does not recommend this size tire on this car because it would be a safety hazard. I had five family members in the vehicle a couple weeks ago and noticed a noise coming from the front of the vehicle and when I stopped to investigate the lip of the fender was all bent and there were cuts in the tire. If I had been on the highway driving the speed limit of 70 mph and this happened, the results could of been tragic.
