Check these pics out of this marauder for sale on ebay. It looks like the rear tires are on the front and the front tires are on the rear. Shouldnt a person who is trying to sell something at least have the common sense to see how wrong this looks? :shake:

I have seen that happen before. Worse comes to worse, the ABS light will come on this 300A. If it were a 300B, it will probably overheat the rear brakes from the traction control and retard the timing so much to make the car "fall on its face".

One could "ask a seller a question" and let them know or let them find out the hard way.

If the car falls on its face, it will not be fatal will it? Take the salesman on a ride and get it to fail, then make an offer way low.?.:rolleyes:

HAHA saw that this morning and laughed my a$$ off. How dumb can you be,just look at the tires and you can tell the rears are bigger than the fronts. Really makes you worry about some of the techs now adays

Probably rotated by the dealership. Many of them do not realize they are different sizes. Mine didn't.

The Rears are supposed to be BIGGER than the Fronts...

The dealer thanked me for the info about the tire size and said he was correcting the problem today!!

This is what I got from them.....



The tires are all BF Goodrich KDWS. The rear tires are 245/55/ZR18 and the front tires are 235/50/ZR18.
The rear ones have about 60-70% left in them and the front ones look to be around 50%.


Thank You
