Replying to: jeep (Feb 15, 2005 4:37 pm) Thanks, Jeep .... sorry, what is TPS? Where can I see standard and optional features? Replies to this message: maggi (Feb 16, 2005 5:36 pm)

Jeep, the protection group, which includes run flat tires, includes TPS because, of course, if the tires are run flat, a sensor is needed to advise if air pressure is lost.   Where can I find the standard/optional features for the 2006 models?

I'm 99.999% sure that the protection group has the Conti self sealing tires, NOT any sort of run flat tires. The '05 "C" has the protection group as an option, as on mine, and the tires are self sealing. Sort of.

Anybody with experience with a 300 RWD in snowy/icy conditions? Does the traction control help enough to consider it without AWD? Replies to this message: pat (Feb 17, 2005 12:38 pm) dkrhardy (Feb 18, 2005 9:22 am) jo158 (Feb 21, 2005 12:31 pm)

Replying to: carguy10 (Feb 17, 2005 11:11 am) Hi carguy10, here's a tip for you. If you put "snow" into the Search This Discussion box (on the page bar at the top and the bottom of the page) and hit Search, you'll get links to a whole bunch of posts that may help you. Check them out.   A lot of people don't notice that handy little feature that is so helpful at retrieving useful information already posted.   Have fun!

Don't know, but Car and Driver did an interesting comparison a number of years ago among FWD, RWD, and AWD cars in snow. What they learned is that while AWD works best, and FWD better than RWD, the GREATEST determinant of traction isn't drive configuration, but tires. Cars with AWD and summer tires usually go nowhere in really bad conditions. Conversely, RWD cars with good winter tires will outperform other drive configurations without.   Conti is evidently now making a high quality winter tire in stock 225/60/18. They're pricey, but Tire Rack has them.   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tire- Model=ContiWinterContact+TS790+V&vehicleSearch=true&partnum=26VR8- TS790XL&fromCompare1=yes

Replying to: carguy10 (Feb 17, 2005 11:11 am) If you are gonna drive in snow alot, I'd get dedicated winter tires for either one. Where I live, we get some snow a few times a year and the TC works as advertised. I think that the few who report that it doesn't work have actually turned it off. You do not push the button and illuminate the dash light to turn it on .... it defaults to on when you start the car and the dash light (icon) is off.

Replying to: two.dogs (Jan 28, 2005 4:03 am) I'm ordering a 2006 .... where did you find a list of 2006 standard features ( remember, they may decontent the car) and options ... for example, other mention new colors ... I was told there would be light-sensitive glass   Thanks ...
#3979 of 4893 new Chrysler 300, a Bentley rip-off? by xkss Feb 19, 2005 (6:41 am)
this may have been beaten to death, or not but...   Here is the 1998 Chrysler Chronos concept car:   http://conceptcars.free.fr/images/Chronos_image1.jpg   http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/chronos.html   2005 Chrysler 300C SRT-8:   http://fast-autos.net/chrysler/srt8.jpg   http://www.allpar.com/cars/lx/srt8-chrysler.html   Now the 1957 Chrysler 300C:   http://www.allpar.com/cars/chrysler-300c.html   The grilles of both Chryslers (57 and 05) look similar.   Notice the lines in the middle of the 57 and 05 Chrysler's hoods.   Also notice the rectangular taillights of both cars.   The front end styling of the new Chrysler 300 is almost IDENTICAL to the front end styling of the 1998 Chrysler Chronos concept except for the slant of the new one.   The Bentley Arnage...   "Named for one of the most challenging corners on the Le Mans racing circuit, the Arnage was fittingly introduced at the French circuit in April of 1998." from autos.msn.com   Oh, and the 300C is awesome!   In a sea of bland cars, the 300C is one BAD-ACE American muscle/luxo sedan!   And the Dodge Magnum RT reminds me of a hot rod!
