    And then the last bit of this is "when I'm 16".

    Well if your so interested the GM was my families car that I drove for a little while. The Marauder is the first car I PURCHASED with my own money. The previous owner did the water pump and timing belt, I paid for all of the nitty gritty work on the timing chains and decided that when the engine was apart why not put a new belt on even the one on there was only a year old. It was only 70 bucks for a belt and better safe than sorry. And I worked 60 hour weeks to pay for this during summer time and made all my own money. Im not one of the kids that got a new car from his parents. I worked for my car.

    what's funny is there is no timing belt on the car. timing chains under the front cover. the belt is the drive belt, accessory belt for waterpump, alternator, ac compressor

    those are primarily winter tires, says year round, but I would want to to know the tread wear rating..most winter tires wear fast in warm climates. summer...I don't see they offer them in the staggered sizes front and rear..if you have tractioncontrol, then it wont work and you will havbe to turn off traction control each time you start the car.

    I would have gone with cooper zeon rs3a and buy a set of 17" cv steelies and put winter tires onthem.

    you are better off coming here for recommendations than a mechanic who prolly knows little of the marauder. there are members here with 14 years of ownership and know what works. imo

    Probably should of came to you guys. Just curious do they offer the rs3a in the staggered sizes. That's the main reason going with these winter tires. Couldn't find tires in both sizes with same tread. Im dumb

    sorry, I missed the listing of the 245/55/18 on their website, it was the last size and I didn't scroll far enough. they will be possibly noisier in summer, winter based tires generally are.

    Also my heater makes a squeal noise when turning off, friend said his car has been doing it for years. Anything to be worried?
