2 winters no problem with all seasons(just need a full tank of gas and a couple 60kg bags of sand in the trunk)for the deep stuff. My neighbor has a set of winters(Michelin ice pilots) on his mm and he still doesn't go any where!
just keeping the weight over the back tires really helps!

I've got a full set, (wheel, and tires), if you want to stop on your way and pick them up, I don't need them any longer.

The Michelin X-Ice family is great and I've been happy with the BFG winter slalom that are on the wife's cars currently. Never tried them on a Marauder since it doesn't get out much in the winter.

I am thinking about Perreli scorpion ice and snow for my next set.Has anybody tried these?

[mossiehorn]

I have had Michelin X-Ice on the MM for 3 winters. I have Coopers on the Town Car, both work great. I wouldn't consider winter on so called all ""seasons" . It's both tread and temperature that matter. Salt is murder on wheels too.

I've got these on my brick (Flex).
They were rated higher than the Blizzaks when I bought.
Wife drives it most and says they are like night and day compared to the Goodyear all weathers that were on it from the factory.

I went with 17 inch steelies and the tires are;
Rear 235/65/17 - 29 inch
Front 215/60/17 – 27.2 inch
Diameter is real close to stock. No issues with TC or speedo. Not sure what they have in 18s

From looking at Tirerack.com it doesn't look like there are any snow tires that you can get in the stock sizes front and rear in the same brand and model.

What version of Marauder do you have a 300a w/o traction control or one of the models w/o? If you don't have traction control then you have more latitude with sizes and if you are going with 18" I'd do the stock front size all around.

@ EMAS: my Marauder04 is the 300a w/o traction control

I really like the Blizzaks. They can be studded also, like me. No takers though.

4 years on my Scorpions on 16 inch Sport Edition Aluminum 5 spoke wheels from the Tire Rack. 200 lb. sand in the trunk. Great snow and ice performance in Dearborn, MI. Same weather as Toronto.

[seabreeze]

Make that 6 years!

Either Blizzaks or what I'm currently running: General Altimax Arctic.
