Chrysler Crossfire Tires

Marketed from 2004 to 2008, the Chrysler Crossfire was a German-built performance coupe that was also offered as a convertible. The Crossfire was available with a 332 horsepower turbo 3.2L V6 engine for strong performance and was offered in Base and Limited trim levels before it was discontinued. Produced during the Daimler/Chrysler era, the Crossfire shared about 80% of its mechanicals and platform with the Mercedes-Benz 1st-gen SLK. It was a refined and stylish sports coupe that was powered by an M-B 3.2L V6 that put out 215 hp, with a limited number being equipped with a supercharged AMG version of that same engine, with well over 300 hp on tap. The SRT-6 iteration was capable of a 0-60 run in under 5 seconds, while still being rated at 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway. The Crossfire was equipped with an electronically controlled rear wing that would only deploy when the vehicle got past a certain preset speed.

At SimpleTire, we’ve rounded up some of the best Chrysler Crossfire tires, including all-season, ultra-high-performance (UHP), and winter tire choices, based on SimpleScore. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:

1. Pirelli P Zero - Best Ultra-High-Performance tire

Here’s where it all started with the P Zero family of tires. The Pirelli P Zero was originally introduced as the OEM tire of choice for select models from Aston-Martin, Mercedes-Benz AMG, Audi, Ferrari, and Lamborghini, and it’s not surprising. The P Zero gets outstanding steering response, braking, cornering, and road manners, starting with its silica- and carbon black-rich tread formulation and an asymmetric tread with circumferential and lateral grooves. The P Zero is stable and rigid at high speeds and during hard cornering thanks to a polyester casing that’s topped with twin steel belts, polyamide cord plies, and an integrated nylon/aramid cord layer for a handling SimpleScore of 8.8. Traction is also excellent in wet or dry weather, thanks to the features we just mentioned – SimpleScore of 8.8. The P Zero falls a bit on longevity, which isn’t surprising since this is an ultra-high-performance tire that’s not intended for year-round use. Summer tires use a softer, stickier tread formulation that will stiffen up and lose traction on colder days, and shouldn’t be used if temperatures are below 45 degrees F for a longevity SimpleScore of 8.0. We should also mention that the P Zero has Pirelli’s Noise Reduction System, a foam layer in the sub-tread that soaks up vibrations and road noise for a quiet ride.

2. Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT - Best Run-flat tire

Here’s a UHP tire that gives you the peace of mind of run-flat technology, allowing a driver to keep going for as long as another 50 miles at 50 mph even after completely losing inflation pressure. The Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT features an asymmetric tread design with circumferential grooves and shoulder notches to evacuate water from the tire’s contact patch for great wet-weather traction. It’s also designed with a lightweight belt package and aramid/nylon reinforcement for weight reduction and low rolling resistance as well as high-speed stability. SimpleScore for handling is a solid 9.9. That precise handling also comes with traction and braking performance that are superb on wet or dry pavement for a SimpleScore of 9.7. Bridgestone also designed the Potenza S001 RFT for even wear properties, with vehicle weight and forces of inertia and momentum distributed evenly for a SimpleScore of 8.3 for longevity.

3. Yokohama Advan Apex V601 - Great UHP tire

Next, we come to the Yokohama Advan Apex V601, a great value in a UHP tire for the Chrysler Crossfire. Braking, cornering, control, and steering response are all outstanding with this tire, owing to its silica-rich tread compound, reinforced shoulder and sidewall, and solid center rib, for a SimpleScore of 8.8 for handling. The rigid construction and wear properties of the tread compound are enough for Yokohama to offer a 25,000 mile warranty (unusual for any UHP tire), for a SimpleScore of 8.1 for longevity. Wet and dry weather traction is also superb, for a SimpleScore of 8.6.

4. Toyo Proxes Sport A/S - Great All-Season tire

At SimpleTire, Toyo tires have been making an impression on us for some time, and the Proxes Sport A/S in particular. The Proxes A/S Sport is designed to deliver all-season, year-round performance with accurate, responsive steering, short braking distances, and great cornering ability. A system of angled grooves, circumferential grooves, and multi-wave sipes boost traction on wet, dry, or snowy pavement for a SimpleScore of 8.9. Handling is another distinct plus with this tire, thanks to a silica-rich tread compound, specialized rib design, and a contact patch that’s optimized to put the most rubber in contact with the road (SimpleScore: 9.1). The Toyo Proxes Sport A/S is covered by a 40,000 mile warranty, enough to justify a SimpleScore of 8.3 for longevity.
