Tire size changes

[Charlie Costell]

Sorry if I post in the wrong section, but has anybody tried an different tire sizes?
Also, has anybody run the same size on all four corners?

I tried the front sized tires at all corners in summer 2006.
The traction control system performed without issue at speeds below 50mph.
A pronounced jerky/bucking/slowdown motion occurred above 55mph.
I returned to OEM sizes within (1) week.

I'm running 225/60-18s all the way around. I have to turn off my traction control but I that's life until I change out the ABS modules.

If you have an early '03 300A Marauder (i.e. without traction control), you can run the 235/50ZR19s all around. I know a couple folks who have done that. Some may have even gone with 245s all around.

However, if you have one of the later '03 300Bs or an '04 Marauder with traction control, then you will have to maintain the tire height/circumference ratio between the front and rear so the T/C feature doesn't think it sees tire slip.

So .... Here's a great thread with lots of info compiled by Breadfan for our compatible tire sizes and alternatives...

We put the same size on all four (snows).
The traction control has to be turned off, or it engages on corners or just plain unpredictably.

Read some threads using search...
and definately look at Breadfan's post as suggested.
