2007 Chrysler Tire Fitment Guide

2007 Chrysler vehicles use 12 different tire sizes across four model lines. The Chrysler 300 uses 215/65R17, 225/60R18, 245/45R20, and 255/45R20. The Crossfire uses 225/40R18 and 255/35R19. The PT Cruiser uses 195/65R15, 205/55R16, and 205/50R17. The Sebring uses 215/65R16, 215/60R17, and 215/55R18. Where product fitment details are available, rim widths include 7.5 to 9.0 inches for 245/45R20, 8.0 to 9.5 for 255/45R20, 7.5 to 9.0 for 225/40R18, 8.5 to 10.0 for 255/35R19, 5.5 to 7.5 for 205/55R16 and 205/50R17, and roughly 5.5 to 7.5 or 6.0 to 7.5 for 215/65R16.

The practical takeaway is that 2007 Chrysler fitment is driven by the exact model and wheel diameter, not just the brand and year. A 300, Crossfire, PT Cruiser, and Sebring do not share a common Chrysler-wide size, and even within one model line there may be multiple factory wheel diameters. Start by reading the tire sidewall already on the car or measuring the wheel diameter, then match that information to your model before comparing brands or appearance options.

On a 2007 Chrysler tire, 245/45R20 means the tire is 245 millimeters wide, has a 45-series aspect ratio, uses radial construction, and mounts on a 20-inch wheel. Within the 2007 Chrysler range, that size belongs to the Chrysler 300. Available 245/45R20 tires come from BFGoodrich and Nitto in blackwall radial form, and the speed ratings vary by tire, with W-rated options up to 168 mph and Y-rated options up to 186 mph and above.

That code matters because it separates this 20-inch 300 fitment from the narrower 17- and 18-inch 300 sizes and from the wider 255/45R20 alternative. If your car already wears 20-inch wheels, 245/45R20 keeps you in the correct diameter category while letting you choose among different modern radial product lines. Before ordering, compare the wheel width on the car to the tire's supported range, which runs from 7.5 to 9.0 inches where that information is specified.

No, 2007 Chrysler models do not use the same tire size. The 300 alone spans four sizes on 17-, 18-, and 20-inch wheels, the Crossfire uses a sport-oriented 18-inch and 19-inch combination, the PT Cruiser ranges from 15 to 17 inches, and the Sebring uses 16-, 17-, and 18-inch fitments. Every size on this page is model-specific rather than shared across the entire 2007 Chrysler lineup.

That means identifying the model is essential before you even compare brands. A buyer who only knows "2007 Chrysler" could easily land in the wrong wheel diameter category, especially with cars like the 300 and Sebring that offered several wheel packages. If you are unsure, read the full size code on the existing sidewall and confirm the model name from the vehicle itself, then move to the model page or the exact tire-size page for a more focused selection.

Sidewall style depends heavily on the size and model. The 245/45R20, 225/40R18, 255/35R19, and 205/55R16 sizes are available as blackwalls. The 255/45R20 adds raised white letter styling. The 205/50R17 used on the PT Cruiser is available in blackwall and wide whitewall form, while the 215/65R16 used on the Sebring appears in RBL, redline, and wide whitewall versions. Those choices create a very different visual effect even when the tire size itself remains correct.

For most 2007 Chrysler owners, the sidewall decision is more about appearance than basic fitment. Blackwalls suit the cleaner modern look typical of late-model factory applications, while whitewalls and redlines lean toward custom styling or a nostalgic visual theme. The right choice depends on how original or personalized you want the car to look. It is smart to decide on sidewall style early, because some sizes offer a much wider appearance range than others.

Several brands cover 2007 Chrysler applications, but the mix changes by size. BFGoodrich appears across every size that has product coverage on this page. Nitto is available in 245/45R20, 255/45R20, and 225/40R18. Pro-Trac appears in 255/45R20, Michelin appears in 205/55R16, and American Classic appears in 205/50R17. Some sizes, such as 255/35R19 and 215/65R16, are concentrated around a narrower brand selection even though they still offer more than one tire style or series.

Brand choice matters most after you have locked in the correct size. A Chrysler 300 owner on 20-inch wheels can compare several performance-oriented radial options, while a PT Cruiser owner on 17-inch wheels may be weighing appearance cues such as blackwall versus whitewall as much as brand name. Looking at the brand mix within your exact size is the quickest way to understand whether your choice is mainly about driving character, visual style, or both.

In the 2007 Chrysler sizes where both appear, BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 and BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A share the same general modern radial, blackwall character but differ in some individual specifications. In 245/45R20, the Sport COMP-2 carries a 103W rating and about 1,930 pounds at 50 psi, while the Phenom T/A carries a 103Y rating and about 1,929 pounds at 50 psi. In 255/35R19, the Sport COMP-2 is 96W with a 2,041-pound load figure, while the Phenom T/A is 96Y with a 1,565-pound figure. Similar pairings also appear in 225/40R18, 205/55R16, and 205/50R17.

Those differences are useful when you are comparing two tires that fit the same Chrysler size but are not identical in rating profile. The key is to compare the exact speed symbol, load figure, and supported wheel width for your tire size rather than assuming one series matches another across the board. When two BFGoodrich options exist in the same size, treat them as separate products with their own specs, not as interchangeable names on the same tire.

Rim width requirements vary by size on 2007 Chrysler vehicles. The 245/45R20 fits 7.5 to 9.0-inch rims, the 255/45R20 fits 8.0 to 9.5-inch rims, the 225/40R18 fits 7.5 to 9.0-inch rims, and the 255/35R19 fits 8.5 to 10.0-inch rims. PT Cruiser sizes with product coverage show 205/55R16 and 205/50R17 working on 5.5 to 7.5-inch rims. The Sebring's 215/65R16 appears on tires supporting either 5.5 to 7.5 inches or 6.0 to 7.5 inches, depending on the specific tire.

That range matters because the same overall size can behave differently when mounted on a wheel near the narrow end or wide end of its approved range. If the wheel width on your car is unknown, check the stamping on the wheel or verify it before choosing the tire. That is especially important on 20-inch 300 fitments and the staggered Crossfire sizes, where wheel width is a bigger part of the equation than it is on a basic commuter-style fitment.

The 2007 Chrysler products shown here are modern radials, and tube status should be checked by the individual tire rather than assumed by size alone. The clearest example is 205/55R16, where one Michelin tire is explicitly marked TL for tubeless use. Other sizes use modern radial constructions and size markings that align with tubeless passenger-car tires, but the product marking on the specific tire is still the one that matters most when you set up the wheel and valve stem.

The practical rule is simple: inspect the tire's own sidewall notation and match it to the wheel condition you are working with. If the wheel has age, corrosion, or prior repair history, that setup decision becomes even more important. Tube questions usually come up more often on older collector vehicles than on a 2007 Chrysler, but verification is still worthwhile anytime you are changing tire type, sidewall style, or wheel finish.

A 2007 Chrysler should be stored out of direct sunlight, away from ozone-producing equipment such as electric motors and battery chargers, and in a dry, moderate-temperature space. Keep the tires clean, maintain inflation, and move the car occasionally so one section of the tread is not carrying the load for months at a time. These are all radial tires, so they generally resist long-term flat-spotting better than older bias-ply designs, but long static storage still ages rubber and stresses sidewalls.

For seasonal or low-mileage use, a little preparation goes a long way. If the car will sit for an extended period, inflate the tires appropriately, avoid parking on damp soil or bare concrete if possible, and consider stands or tire cradles for very long storage intervals. When the car comes back into service, inspect every tire for cracking, pressure loss, or visible distortion before driving at normal road speeds.

On a 2007 Chrysler, tire age usually matters more than mileage once the car becomes a low-use second vehicle or hobby car. A good rule is to start evaluating tires closely at five to seven years from their date code and to give serious replacement consideration as they approach ten years, even if tread depth still looks acceptable. Heat cycles, sunlight, storage conditions, and inflation history often tell the real story on a vehicle that may not be driven every day.

That timeline is especially important for cars like the 300 and Crossfire that may wear higher-speed-rated, lower-profile tires. Those tires can still look presentable while aging out internally. Check the DOT date code on each tire, not just the spare or one visible wheel, because sets are sometimes mixed. If one or two tires are much older than the others, treat the set as uneven and decide your next step with age consistency in mind, not tread alone.

Tires on a 2007 Chrysler should be inspected before every drive, with a more thorough check before any long trip. Look for sidewall cracking, irregular wear, cuts, punctures, bulges, and pressure loss. Pay close attention to low-profile sizes such as the Crossfire and 20-inch 300 fitments, because shorter sidewalls can hide impact damage from potholes or curbs until the tire is off the car or closely examined.

A quick walkaround catches many problems before they turn into a roadside issue. For longer outings, include the spare in the inspection and make sure the valve stems are in good condition and holding pressure. If the car has been parked for weeks or months, inspect the tread contact patch for temporary flat-spotting and check inflation cold before moving off. A few minutes in the garage is much easier than troubleshooting a vibration or failure on the highway.

Yes, 2007 Chrysler tires can be entirely suitable for highway driving when the tire is the correct size, in good condition, and used within its rating. The products with visible speed symbols here include S, W, and Y examples. S is rated to 112 mph, W to 168 mph, and Y to 186 mph and above. Those ceilings are well beyond normal highway speeds, so for most driving the more important factors are tire age, inflation, alignment, and the mechanical condition of the car itself.

The real safety question is not whether the tire has an aggressive enough rating, but whether the whole package is healthy and properly matched. A fresh W- or Y-rated tire will not compensate for worn suspension parts, poor alignment, or neglected brakes on a 300 or Crossfire. On a PT Cruiser or Sebring, a correct standard-size radial in good condition is usually the more meaningful factor than a high speed symbol alone. Match the tire to the car, then maintain the car to suit the tire.

Inflation pressure on a 2007 Chrysler should follow the vehicle placard or owner's manual first, then be checked against the tire maker's own maximum-pressure information where it appears on the tire. Some available tires show load-and-pressure figures such as 245/45R20 at about 1,930 pounds at 50 psi, 255/45R20 at about 1,819 pounds at 51 psi, 225/40R18 at about 1,235 to 1,389 pounds at 50 to 51 psi, 205/55R16 at about 1,356 to 1,477 pounds at 50 to 51 psi, 205/50R17 at about 1,279 to 1,433 pounds at 50 to 51 psi, and 215/65R16 at about 1,565 pounds at 35 psi or 1,930 pounds at 65 psi depending on the tire.

Those figures are not universal operating pressures for every 2007 Chrysler application. They are tire-specific maximum load references, and they should not be transferred from one size or product type to another. A Sebring running a collector-style whitewall radial and a Sebring using a light-truck-rated tire in the same nominal size may not want the same pressure. Use the car's recommended cold inflation as your baseline, then fine-tune only within the tire maker's approved limits.

Before a longer drive in a 2007 Chrysler, inspect each tire for cracking, cuts, punctures, uneven wear, bulges, and proper cold inflation. Verify that the size on the car matches the wheel diameter you expect, especially on models with multiple factory fitments like the 300, PT Cruiser, and Sebring. Include the spare tire in the check, and if the car runs a low-profile setup such as the Crossfire or 20-inch 300, look carefully for sidewall damage from curb or pothole impact.

Tires are only one part of the pre-trip picture on a car of this age. It is also wise to check alignment feel, suspension condition, brakes, and wheel fastener torque before heading out. If the car has been sitting, take a short local drive first and watch for vibration, pull, or pressure loss. That short shakedown often reveals issues that a static garage inspection can miss, and it gives you time to correct them before a longer highway run.
