:) We have been running the stock Rear on all 4 corners for the last 22k. Finally had a couple that just got too thin in center so we thought we would try a different tire other than the stock 245/55. We put the 255/55VR-18 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW. The Front is a little close but no rubbing problems or any other problems so far. Only have about 500 mi so far but they appear to be working like a charm. Don't really like the looks of the tire on front but it sure drives good. Ours is a 2003 without traction control. Just thought that I would let people know that they would work with no problems. We bought them from Tire Rack for $123 Ea and used one of their installers, was a flawless experience.:)

Thanks:
Bob

That's good to hear. I was planning on finding some take off 225/60-18 tires from a Charger, Magnum, and/or 300C and see how those do.

That is cool, a number of folks seem to have gone iwth that size all the way around.

FYI, BFG does stock that tire in the OEM front size. It's less rubber but more exensive - about $50 more per tire.

I have all the tire sizes that work in my Tire Size Matrix in the reviews section: http://www.mercurymarauder.net/reviews/showproduct.php/product/47/sort/2/cat/18/page/1
