I have gone through 1 set of winters scorps in two winters and am on my second set of 3 season oem tires in 19k miles...sorry for the confusion...my worn current winter tires hydro badly after 60mph..I drive mixed roads but do have many higher speed curves and do generate some decent loads...at least thats what she said?

I just turned 33k miles on my '18 and replaced the Pirelli's with Michelin Pilot Sport AS3s. Have run these consistently on several of my cars (I live in CT) and they've been quite good in all weather. The ride difference is stunning. FWIW, I also added a full size spare (extra stock rim) as I don't want to be stranded with no spare and no runlets.... Was a 10 minute exercise to add the factory mechanism to the truck.

You can fit a full size spare under the cargo area? What size?

Yes. Full size wheel sits under there just fine. 20x10 stock rim and stock 295/45 tire.

Awesome! Wanted to make sure it was someone running a 20x10 295/45/20 setup and not a 20x8 265/50/20. I may try to find a way to flip mine so the face of the wheel isn’t facing the road and be vulnerable to road debris.

I don't know that there's enough storage for the cable to flip the wheel face. The unit housing may not store that length. I sprayed mine with plastidip or similar to protect the rim face. FWIW - the underside back there was quite clean when I went under there. I live in CT and drive this in all weather/all conditions. Don't think a lot will get tossed onto the rim.
No need to remove any shields etc. Remember - this is the factory part that would go there if the truck had the spare tire option from the factory. You'd store you flat full size tire under the truck so it had/has to fit. Saw a couple questions elsewhere on this board about adding the spare and none of them fully outlined the process/steps with pics. I did take pics and could throw up a DIY if there was interest.

Good call on the plastidip! I would like to see a DIY if you had one handy [emoji1360]

I am looking for any first hand experience with anyone who is NOT running OE Scorpion Verde All Season Run Flat tires on their SRT.

I am currently collecting all necessary components to upgrade to the Brembo calipers/rotors on my R/T. I have 20x10 wheels and want to purchase 295/45/20 tires but do not want the Pirelli’s. What is my next best option for a vehicle that is driven in NE Wisconsin that has some harsh winter weather at times?

Here is what I’m looking at (no specific order) with the different prices associated. I’ve done plenty of reading but want real world input. If there is another tire that is recommended, please share. Do the more expensive tires really make that big of a difference performance wise?

1. Michelin Sport A/S 3+ - $1,100
2. Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 - $1,300
3. Toyo Proxes STIII - $700
4. Yokohama Prada Spec-X - $700

Thanks!

I just changed to the Michelin Sport A/S 3+ from the OEM Scorpion Verde All-season and I could immediately notice a better ride quality.

That’s awesome! That was my second choice but the Continentals won because I’ve never had another tire brand on my vehicles. So are you in an SRT?

I can not testify for the D as I'm running Grabbers on our GT and love them. But the Parade spec x is an awesome tire and got great traction on my past supercharged Titan truck.
I'm also a fan of the Conti extreme on the turbo Juke 6 speed and for such a light car, it def hooked up in all weather.
