MM owners that run all 4 tires same size

[Gerry24]

Feed back on the owners that have stock rims and have same size tires on all 4. I dig the stock look with the rake, but I dont run the car hard just cruise and enjoy the ride. What size do you u have on your MM and how does it handle? I have read the tire guide sticky, but the rear tires always eat up the middle. I'm running on Cooper tires Zeon RS3A. Thank you in advance

I run 255/45 all the way around on my 300a. Note you'll need a tuner to adjust the programed tire size otherwise WOT runs will result in bouncing off the rev limiter before it shifts and of course your speedo and odo will be off.

Some people report issues with their ABS activating prematurely, but I haven't had a problem.

Personally I think it handles better with the 255/45 instead of the stock sizes.

I bought my car with 235/50s on all 4 corners. She has no traction control, so I've had zero issues as a daily driver, and I've put 10K miles on her since I picked her up in Dec. I'll be going to 255/45s next time to widen the footprint a bit, but probably would be fine staying with the 235/50s as I don't push her hard very often.

Running 255 on all four. It softens up the front and makes the front and rear handle the same. I always felt the front was more like a mustang in ride harshness before with a soft rear like a Grand Marquis. With both the same size it feels more even PLUS i can rotate them!

I'm running 55 series tires all around but wider in the rear. No issues, handles the same. I was looking to fill the front wheel well without cutting springs. It filled in about a 1/2" of the gap.

[Gerry24]

If Going 235/55/18 all around, would you need to do anything on a 300A? Or just plug and play...

[Mr. Man]

P & P assuming you have a 2003 300A, as all 2004 Marauders are also 300A's.......Yeah 10K post:banana::banana:

Same on my black 03 300a, it's a little higher in the front, but that's a good thing because it has a Mach 1 chin spoiler

It rides pretty much the same I think, but I also keep my tire pressure at 32 for softer ride
235/55 and 255/55 rear

You will still bounce off the rev limiter and your speedo will be off with that ~1/2" shorter tire on the rear, though certainly not at much as 255/45's.

I have on all 4 rims cooper zeon rs3-a 255/45/18 amd love them

[Gerry24]

Thanks for the information gentleman...

the rear tires always eat up the middle Are you running the BFGs still? I went up in size on the back and switched to Continental, then Nitto, with no uneven tire wear.

The stock BFGs, on the other hand, those were GONE in the middle.

[daddyusmaximus]

Went up to what size?

[a_d_a_m]

285/50/18 out back and yes, still 235/50/18 in the front, lowered.

[Turbov6Bryan]

285/80/18 out back and yes, still 235/50/18 in the front, lowered.


What size out back? 285/50?

[a_d_a_m]

Oh crap. Yes. Post edit forthcoming.

[daddyusmaximus]

Who makes a 285/50/18? Looks like it fills the fender real good. Is that an all season tire?

^^^^^^^^^ I dig it :beer:

Unfortunately, to the first part of your question, I just did a quick internet search which indicates that the market has since dried up. Odd, because I used to be able to find this size all damn day. Bummer.

I'll be going with Contenental tires this time. They have a great all season tire that does very well in snow. I really want something like a 255/50, but will probably have to settle for the 255/45. If I have to go with a slightly shorter tire to get good winter traction it's not a problem.
