Wanted to introduce myself. Live on Ohio, bought my '03 Marauder just over a year ago. It's a 300A with 29K miles, not perfect but nice. Just replaced original battery and now noticed cracks in original tires. Need to read through tire suggestions on here. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.:help:

They handle great in all seasons but the winter. Other than that, it's a great tire.

Congrats on your purchase , and Welcome to the "MADNESS"

Won't take this car out in winter, so no problem there.

Welcome from Akron area here.... Pending on preference for tires and sizes you like..stock, factory staggered, or wider in front and rear...Factory sizes go with Cooper Zeon RS3A, or Nitto Motivos, Of Firestone Widehawk oval I think it is, There are some Hankooks and Toyo available as well. NItto makes a good selection for sizes with the 420S and 555 and Motivos

Yes I still have it. Your '63 sure looks good. I had a '65 marauder that color.

Thanks for the tire ideas. I will probably stay factory sizes. I am in Canton area.

You can run the 265-50-18.. for rear, they do not have the stock size in the 555 for rear.It is like .2 shorter and 3/4 inch wider..looks good on rear. no rim adjustmnet required

Hi, from Amherst OH.

I'm running 285/55/18 on stock rims now for over four years, about 27k. Fits fine, looks great! a_d_a_m in painesville OH and another member had been running that size before me.
