I was able to get Toyo tires with the correct size for the front and rear. So far so good.

I bought 2 sets of original BFG tires for my Marauder; They went with the car when I sold it to my son.

I got tired of uneven tire wear all around. Air pressure didn't seem to matter. The rears having center wear and not able to rotate shorten millage expectancy. I chose to run same size all around. Cooper Zeon RS3-G1 worked well next time I will try continentals.
2004 marauder black purchased new. Sold 9/16 at 297,000 miles. Still ran strong didn't burn a drop of oil.
2003 marauder black 28,000 miles all stock. Garage Queen.
2004 marauder red daily driver.
I got good tire wear and mileage out of original size Nitto Motivo. Never tried Cooper or General. Goodyear and BFG were terrible.

Depends on what type of tire you are looking for. If you need a normal daily driver type of tire, get these: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...omCompare1=yes
I bought them because they were cheap so i could have the boost burn them up and not feel guilty. The blasted things have better dry pavement traction than my M/T drag radials did!
500/AA/A, name brand, unbelievable traction and cheap!

ANY tires are better than the BF Goodjunks! My Nitto 420’s have at minimum 7 years on them now and although finally bald AF, they are perfectly wore evenly across. Great traction wet or dry as well.

I've been shopping for tires, too. 6 years ago I installed front BFGoodrich g Force Comp A/S and they've worn well but with only 10K miles on them, I'd hesitate to get on the freeway for a trip. They do not have a comparable rear size and the rear has BFG Radial T/As in OE size. I want something sticky and soft as I only drive occasionally and wind up throwing tires away because of age. It appears Pirelli, Toyo, Continental, General, Cooper, and Falken make OE sizes. I love the Nitto Invo but sizes similar to OE aren't available. I put serious consideration into the Good Year Eagle RS-A.
I'd like a higher performance oriented tire with more stick.

Hi all, I am new to the thread. I have a 2004 Marauder, pretty much stock. From reading this, I can see BF Goodrich were the original brand that came on them...what were the sizes that originally cam eon them? Thanks!

Keep in mind whatever size you go with on a 2004 you need to keep the front/rear stager w/in 3% or the T/C will have a hissy fit.
