Hey guys forgive me I know this has been beat to death but for some odd reason I cannot find it using the search button. But............ Will Nitto 420s, 255/55R-18 fit on a 2004 Maruader without messing up the traction control? The Wife loves the traction control on her DTR and doesn't want to go without it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Awesome thanks guys. I couldn't remember if going up in size messed up the traction control. Time to order tires.

i run the exact tires and have no issues. They grip awesomely though, but expect alittle more sidewall flex.

Look into discount tire, thats where i got mine from

That 420S is < +3/4" difference in height.
I wouldn't expect any issue.

I am also running the 420S and no issues...have had them for over a year now...got them before I went to MV6 in St. Louis and drove to and from there from San Antonio...never had any issues with them and they do grip very well.
