I may have a set with the 315/50 for sell
Too much tire for my slow kitty.
Someone mentioned the 275 40's and I looked at it. .3 narrower, 4 lbs lighter and 2" shorter would mean the equivalent of about 3.04 gear. Also about $80 cheaper in US money each. I may have to give them a try.
They don't last me much more than 1 month or so usually.

It's definitely a cheaper way of trying 3.09's .

Ok thanks David . Following the rain dance in the instructions I have read online I am assuming.
I figure it is due. 7 to 14 passes a week from sometime in April until sometime in Nov if all works out on average. There are track rentals and both days some weekends to make up for any rain days. So a bunch of passes in 3yrs. Poor car.

I wish you weren't so far away. I'd like to bring the Charger in for a transmission service and check.

Any dipstick kits for these cars?

Yes, I resemble that remark also ;-) The ZFs are wonderful, technological marvels, BUT PUT A DAMN DIPSTICK IN IT!! My biggest complaint with these cars. Rant over.
