#35 of 44 Re: Larger Rims & Tires [jwlundy] by euphonium Nov 20, 2006 (4:05 pm)
Replying to: jwlundy (Nov 20, 2006 10:22 am) Considering the subject vehicle is over 15 years in age, my economic approach would be to install 225 Michelins on the factory wheels because I don't know if 16" rims are compatible with the brake system and are you considering making the adjustments in your speedometer and odometer?   Is there a 235 75 X15 Michelin out there you could use?
#36 of 44 My stock tires were garbage. by fordenvy Mar 20, 2007 (7:23 pm)
I replaced them because they wouldn't hold pressure worth a darn, but I found out it improved other things to. Such as the way it handled at high speeds, steering wheel was easier to turn and no jerky freeway curves, you know those jerky corrections. Also the took bumps better and quieter. I thought michelins were good tires, and these tires weren't even wore out. With 43000 miles and 3 years old. You think it was an isolated pair of michelins that were bad or do you think it is in general. I always thought the car was that bad of quality, but these new tires turned my entire belief around. It's like 200% better in all those categories. And I also keep 32 psi in my tires, because that is what I recommend not because Ford recommends it.

Replying to: pewe (Oct 02, 2007 8:50 pm) Are they not interchangable, considering the bolt patterns?   Remember to update the spare if you go to the larger wheels.

#40 of 44 Nice Rims Or Original. by cobrass Oct 22, 2008 (5:58 pm)
I have a grand marquis 1996 LS The Optional one with the nice rims (Grilled) screen shape.   and I was wondering if I can get something as nice as those for winter, I don't want to rowan them in salt The tire says P225/60/16 I think.   The bolt pattern is not common so Canadian tire dose not carry any Alloy rims for it Unfortunately.   I'm going to contact the dealership for similar ones to see if they still have them.   Any suggestions/recommendations? I don't want to spend a whole lots of money and at the same time I don't want to order/ship from outside.   Thanks alot sam,
#41 of 44 Best tires by dj7trypp May 19, 2009 (11:30 pm)
Best tires I have found are toyo touring 800 ultras. I'm running 225/75r15 on aftermarket saltflat wheels. They have good noise reduction and so much traction on dry pavement I can't burn the tires at all unless I'm going around a corner. If you want to go american, BFgoodrich or mickey thompson all the way. If you want your car to do CRAZY things around corners thicker stabilizer bars, Bilstein or eibach springs, kyb gas-a-just shocks, neg-roll control arms and a set of falken blades will do the trick.   My project is a maroon '90 CV with 54x18.5in boggers and a 24in lift though. I will post pictures as I go.
#42 of 44 I'm looking to go to a new tire...... by family_man1 Nov 25, 2009 (9:27 am)
On my '97 Grand Marquis LS, the tires that are on there now (same ones when I bought the car a little over a year and a half ago) are low on tread, but should be ok until income taxes come in..... Anyway, the current tire size on the car is a 225/70R15..... The two tires that I'm looking toward is either the Michelin Hydro Edge or the Good Year Assurance Triple Tred. Where I live, it rarely gets cold enough for ice to form on the roads, and when it does, it doesn't hang out long. It pretty much is quite a rare occasion for it to snow, whenever it does snow though, seems like everything shuts down so people down here can enjoy it, so as far as the winter hardiness of the tire goes, it's not as important as other factors. Rain, we get a bit of it from time to time, and when I nice storm comes through they are usually compared to a small hurricane.... We still have a few dirt roads down here, but when they are wet, I try to avoid them. So, any suggestions? I'm not sure what the mileage rating for the Good Year is, but the Michelin is listed to be a 90k warranty on it....

Replying to: family_man1 (Nov 25, 2009 9:27 am) Well, after finally using a different web browser, I managed to check sizing, ect on the tires..... The Good Year tires that I have listed is the only one out of the two that come in the current size that's on the car now..... The also have an 80k warranty.... So I guess the answer to the above question should be an easy one now, though I still would like to know if anyone here has these tires or not, and if so, what do you all think of them?

Replying to: family_man1 (Nov 27, 2009 2:35 pm) Our Town Car came with Goodyear 225 X 15's & they lasted 60,000. I replaced them with Michelin X and they lasted 90,000 and 12 years. I just replaced them with Michelin Symmetrys and they ride the best.   Our T Bird has had Hydro Edge tires for over two years and no complaints.   If you have 225's you probably have dual exhaust and the "touring" suspension. Some Ford products call it the "handling package". If your Merc rides stiff and you feel the cracks in the pavement, I'd recommend the Symmetry Michelin. You could even drop down to the 215 X 70X 15 & have a White wall if you wanted to do that.
