At your local Firestone Store, you might have to special order. But $659.89 installed out the door.
I went with the Cooper's myself, they are designed for cross rotation and customer ratings were extremely high, usually 9.6/10. I am glad I did, they handle nice, ride quite, very smooth.....
I hope this help's, at least there's 3 more options for us.

Coopers are excellent tires. You will not be disappointed.

I also stand behind cooper tires, I have run them on plenty of other cars I've owned and have been very happy with their results.

I'm running Hancook's Ventus ST 295 45r18v out back. On second set. First lasted 35,000 miles. Great dry weather tire. Ok on water.
In front I'm using Hancook's Evo V12 tire, 245/45ZR18.
Great tire. Very sticky
I only got 12,000 out of my cooper rears.

I notice this is an old post but a very important one for any 2003 and 2004 Mercury Marauder. Nitto makes P235/50-18 and P245/55-18 to meet or surpass OEM specs of the original BF Goodrich KDWS g-Force. Nitto Motivo are speed rated Z, M/S mud/snow and proper load rating as well as proper fit and long wear rating. Do your homework if your MM is a daily driver and high performance with no problems is your goal. Just my opinion-relax! I own two 2004 Mercury Marauders with many miles of daily driving all weather in NY state.
