I had M 55's on my old Ford and they didn't last long at all.

Mind you, that was the old dual I beam thing on the front, none of the tires I had lasted long...

Good luck.

Good luck.
This list is to lobby them just to make a taller size over and above the current OEM sizes in 17&18" that they only currently offer. Once the list is long enough, we will barrage the reps in our respective area(s) with it. No one says it'll work, or won't work, but a few of us haven't gotten very far with our reps by ourselves, so it can't hurt.

So, why not copy the list, paste it in a new post, and add yours??

Yep a 285/75/ R17 or a 315/70R17 E rated or even a 35x11.00 R17 E rated M-55 something bigger than 33 but not super wide witha 4k load rating and stiff side walls would be fantastic

would be awesome. my old 285/75 R16's in the M-55 were a great tire, wore like iron and got decent traction.

Ditto on that! I sold my '99 with M-55's on it. I ordered them through Express Tire here locally and they were jacked up when they arrived. Never sold a set before that. Next to zero weight to balance them.

1815 views and only 29 people on the list currently.

Can you imagine what could be done with a list that long? Get on it!

This isn't no idle thing...I will do what I originally stated. Somehow, we need more people on here - get family and friends on it if you have to - the rule is you must talk to them and they must be in agreement - no fudging numbers allowed - persons must be contactable / willing to confirm if this is to hold any relevance.
