Vehicle model
Dodge Durango
The Dodge Durango is a mid-to-large sport utility vehicle (SUV) that appeared in 1997 for the 1998 model year. With three rows of seats, it targets families and buyers needing space, towing capacity, and a distinctive driving character. Over three generations, the Durango evolved from a body-on-frame SUV to a unibody platform shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. True to the Dodge spirit, it offers powerful engines, up to the SRT Hellcat version with a supercharged V8 exceeding 700 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful three-row SUVs. It remains in production. For tires and wheels, the Durango uses good-sized wheels (often 18 to 20 inches) with a five-bolt pattern; in Quebec, given its size and the frequency of all-wheel drive, quality winter tires are essential for family safety.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Dodge de performance (Charger, Challenger) utilisent fréquemment l'entraxe 5x115 et des jantes de grand diamètre, souvent 18 à 20 pouces, parfois avec des largeurs différentes à l'avant et à l'arrière (montes étagées). Les versions sportives reçoivent des pneus larges à indice de vitesse élevé. Le Durango partage généralement un entraxe à cinq trous. Au Québec, où les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires, il est souvent recommandé d'opter pour un ensemble hiver en diamètre légèrement réduit (par exemple 18 ou 19 pouces) afin de gagner en motricité, de mieux protéger les jantes et de réduire les coûts. Confirmez toujours la dimension exacte selon le modèle, l'année et la version.
