Any suggestions on matched tire sets for the original Marauder wheels with the BFG rears nowhere to be found. Would like to get as close to original size as possible. Thanks

I second that! I love mine... Handles far better than the stockers, low noise and (somewhat) aggressive looking tire tread. The 255's fill in the wheel well quite nicely...

Nitto 420's are $141 each at Discount tire direct presently. Lots of stock and they pay shipping.

Another good tire is the Hankook Ventus You can get 4 if that's what your after 235/50/18 fronts and 255/55/18 rears.

420s seem to be pretty good. My only complaint (and not that important in the grand scheme of things) is that they aren't aggressive looking enough for me. The back tire 255/55/18 doesn't look all that wide. I guess it's 'cuz the edges seem to be more rounded than the more aggressive style tires. Had I a chance to see them before ordering, I probably would've gone up a size or two...

+1 on the Hankooks. They are awesome tires.

I 3rd that, I have had them on both of my MMs and love them. They were so good on my first Merc it was the first thing I added to my second one a week after I got it.

Nice and grippy, look good as I have gotten plenty of compliments on them, they wear way better than the stockers, have rim protecting lips (in case you curb it), good pricing, and have never had an issue with availability..
