How do I know 300A from 300B? and what does that even mean?

Welcome! Are the F1s summer only? If so, no matter how much tread they have, you're going to wreck it in snow. Once that rubber freezes you might all well be on slicks.

I figured they wouldnt fare in the snow, I dont know why the dealer picked them to put on new...They still have the sticker on them, maybe I can trade them or sell them for all weathers

It sounds like you have a 300a. Do a search and you'll find what your looking for, not only for the differences between the 300a & 300b, but much, much more. Enjoy the site :beer:

Those are exspensive tires, I'd keep them. Tirerack has a snow tire package for the Marauder that includes wheels for a reasonable price.

Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll enjoy the site. The people are great and you can learn everything you need to know via the search engine or by asking as you've done.

I'll be out in KC, MO for a conference the first week in May. Any good restaurants out there?

Auto air-ride suspension compressor jammy leveling the car, so to speak. (normal noise, don't sweat it)

I think you have a 300A... That is what I have... Look for full size spare tire, map pockets at the front of the seats, and no traction control, longer overhead console... These are sure signs of a 300A

yep its definitely a 300a!

Learned today my production sequence is 1388 of 7839.

I wonder how many of them 7839 are still on the road?

Spent all morning rubbing leather conditioner on the seats, Now I am sliding all over these giant comfy seats when I corner, lol. I love it!

Exactly what I had, They gave me 5500 for mine, it had 70K miles on it. Probably could have done better on my trade but I am happy.

Exactly ;) 7,587 of 11,052 total MMs remain ('03 MM = 5213 of 7839, '04 MM = 2374 of 3213.) I estimate that we have already lost some 31% of them.
