Mopar introduces winter tire and wheel packages
Wed, Dec 2 2015
The packages combine everything drivers need to be prepared for slick roads, including winter tires, steel wheels, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors. Even better, the company delivers them mounted, balanced, and ready for installation. Customers can order the bundles from dealers now.
Mopar offers packages with the General Altimax Arctic tire on the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Cherokee, and Chrysler 200. All- and rear-wheel drive configurations of the Chrysler 300 get the Michelin X-Ice Xi3, and the all- and rear-drive Dodge Charger models use the Continental WinterContact SI. Depending on the vehicle, prices vary between $242 and $292 per wheel, and Mopar will expand the program to even more models next year.
Spending the extra money on winter tires really can make a difference. Experts are clear that the specialized rubber simply works better when the weather gets cold. They can shorten braking distances and improve traction – even with all-wheel drive. Plus, winter tires can often last for more than one year, which spreads out the investment.

About Mopar Winter Tires
Mopar winter tires provide extra protection for when Jack Frost comes nipping, and are also appropriate for vehicles driven in regions spared the most extreme winter weather. Winter tires don't require ice and snow to go to work — they remain flexible and allow for enhanced handling and stopping even when weather conditions fall under 45 degrees.
Mopar winter tires are also a wise choice for four-wheel-drive vehicles, with aggressive tread patterns that augment the additional control provided via four-wheel drive.
Popular brands of available Mopar winter tires include Bridgestone, Goodyear, Yokohama, Pirelli, BF Goodrich, Michelin and Continental and many more, with more than 1,100 winter tire fitments offered.

Today, Mopar is FCA's service, parts and customer-care brand and distributes more than 500,000 parts and accessories in over 150 markets around the world.
