“The Mickey ET Street R’s hook so hard it allowed us to get much more aggressive with our suspension and trans-brake tuning.” “60-foot times in the mid-120’s in a production car doesn’t happen without a balanced and optimized suspension,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand CEO, Stellantis. The additional tread grooves improve on-street performance, allowing the Demon 170 to switch from the strip to the street without the need for tire modifications. The rear tire features a modified version of the popular Mickey Thomson ET Street R P315/50R17. Achieving 0-60 in 1.66 seconds, the 1025-horsepower Demon 170 completes a quarter mile in a record breaking 8.91 seconds at the track.
Mickey Thompson’s ET Street tires turn the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170’s 945 ft.lbs of torque into traction. “Dodge values record-breaking performance as much as we do, and they truly broke every barrier with this vehicle.”Ī relationship born at the dragstrip, the two companies began development on a modified version on Mickey Thompson’s popular ET Street R P315/50R17 months prior to the Challenger SRT Demon 170 project kickoff. “Nobody puts power to the ground like Mickey, and nobody creates power like Dodge,” said Dominick Montouri, President of Mickey Thompson. Before undertaking the project, Mickey Thompson worked closely with Dodge engineers in developing a tire that could unleash record-setting power for the world’s quickest 0-60 production car. Mickey Thompson Tires played a key role from the ground up in the record-breaking performance of the new 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, revealed this evening by the Dodge brand in Las Vegas.
