Help a newbie out with tires

[mbernard71]

Just bought a Marauder and found out that the BFGoodriches are on intergalactic backorder(rear). I can't seem to find anyone else making that size 245/55/18. What other size can I use that won't throw off the Traction control? And what brand? I appologise if this thread has been done before.

only a hundred times, I have an early '03 no traction control, I put 285/50/18r on great fit no problems, but there are a lot of manufacturers that make a 255/55/18. One of the most important things is tread wear, traction, heat range, and speed. You will get plenty of help on this query, it is a consistent problem.

255/55/18 will work

Cheap, long wearing and looks bad azz.;)

There are 2 members here running 295/45-18s in the rear on stock sized wheels and with no problems if kept at 40lbs PSI.
