Dodge Stealth Tires — Fitment by Year

The Dodge Stealth was a sport coupe produced from 1991 through 1996, sharing its platform with the Mitsubishi 3000GT. Available in base, R/T, and R/T Turbo trims — including an all-wheel-drive variant — the Stealth carried genuinely performance-oriented engineering for its era. That platform heritage means tire selection has a direct and meaningful impact on handling response, braking distances, and overall driving feel in a way that matters more here than on a typical daily driver.

Factory tire sizes on the Stealth varied by trim level. Base and R/T models typically ran a narrower front/rear sizing, while the all-wheel-drive R/T Turbo used a staggered or matched performance fitment with wider rear rubber to match its power output. Because the specific OEM size depends on your exact trim and whether the vehicle has been modified, always confirm the size mounted on your vehicle — or cross-reference your door jamb placard — before ordering replacement tires.

For a vehicle in this class, tire category choice matters significantly. Summer performance tires (often marketed as UHP or ultra-high-performance) deliver the grip levels the Stealth's suspension geometry was designed to exploit, particularly on the AWD turbo model. All-season tires are a reasonable compromise for year-round driving in moderate climates, though they will sacrifice some dry-road cornering precision. Dedicated winter tires are worth serious consideration if you drive in a region with sustained cold temperatures or snow, especially given the vehicle's age and the performance-biased suspension tuning.

Sidewall selection is another practical consideration. Lower-profile tires (lower aspect ratios) offer sharper turn-in response but are less forgiving over rough pavement and potholes — a real concern on a three-decade-old vehicle where ride harshness can compound existing wear. If your Stealth sees primarily street use, staying close to the OEM aspect ratio is generally the better long-term choice for ride comfort and wheel protection. Going significantly wider than OEM can also create clearance issues with the inner fender and suspension components, so verify physical clearance before committing to a larger section width.

Load index and speed rating should not be overlooked on a sport coupe. The Stealth, particularly in turbocharged form, is capable of sustained highway speeds, and replacing tires with a lower speed rating than OEM is not advisable. Match or exceed the original speed rating — typically in the H, V, or Z range depending on trim — to ensure the tire is rated for the vehicle's performance envelope. Load index should also meet or exceed the original specification to maintain safe load-carrying capacity.

Because the Stealth spans multiple model years and three distinct trim levels with meaningfully different powertrain and suspension configurations, there is no single tire size that applies universally across 1991–1996 vehicles. Verify your trim level, check your door placard, and measure your current tire size before purchasing. If the vehicle has had previous wheel or suspension modifications, those changes may affect which sizes will fit without rubbing or clearance problems.
