    When your in the 255 - 265 range all you can find are high performance / light truck tires. I use these:

    Hankook RH06 in 255/55/18

    At $125.00 a pop and they wear like iron.

    Got them at www.eastcoasttires.com

    I have them too courtesy of Red.

    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:
    Alex "Marauderboi" Vachon 3/2/92-8/13/10
    Paula Babineau 1/9/67-8/2/11

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    How are they working out for you? Did the higher pressures help with the squish?

    I have heard of people doing this and I would NOT recommend it. 295 is way to wide for stock rims. I'm sure some will disagree and say they do it with no issues but to each his own regardless of that based on design specs and safety specs 295 is too wide for a non-widened OEM Marauder rim.

    265 if the upper limit on stock rims, 255 really is as wide as you should go to be within recommended specs.

    Those look pretty cool...is there a front size available? I like the same tread on all four corners personally.
