Size for winter

[Coupe]

What´s the best size for front and rear winter tires for a 16" rim?

Following suit from Dragcity since I do mostly highway driving in dry weather and want some traction I opted for wider.

I think the normal size people go with is 215/65-16 Front and 225/70-16 Rear.

(Mine)
WinterForce M+S Tires
235/70-16 Front
255/70-16 Rear

225/60-16 is the size the CVPI has, I would use that on all 4. Then you can rotate the tires next winter.

but what´s about the ESP? When i get 225/60-16 in the front and in the rear, works the ESP correctly?
And, my greatest problem is, i can´t get the steel rims in germany!!! :-( somebody can ship me rims?

I thought your marauder was a 2003 300A without T/C (traction control)?

Only the 2003 300B have T/C traction control and it's a button on the dashboard to turn it off.
And the best option for a 300B is to run a bigger 225/70-16 Rear tire, like ctrlraven posted.

(The Abs shouldn't be any problem with same size on all 4)

Try and ask Wes at Innovativeinterceptors.com (wes@innovativeinterceptors.co m)
Maybe he can hook you up with some CVPI steel rims.

Baxglobal ocean freight is probably the cheapest way ship them.

If you have tracton control then you have a 300b.
