Turn off the TC and you can do all kinds of things with the car, even with Michelin PSS.

Granted, there's probably better tires out there, but PSS are the best I've ever owned. Great tire.

 

Maybe I missed it, but you are planning to run the same size tire all around? Why would you not be able to rotate your wheels front to back to save on tire wear? AWD will also help you extend the life of your tires over RWD. Ultimately, it will come down to where and how aggressively you drive.

 

Because I have staggered wheel set. I was told that 245/40's all around for X is the best set up for 19"s staggered or not.

Anyways, I am swapping my 9.0 rears for 8.5 fronts tomorrow so I will have 8.5 square set!

 

Problem solved.

 

Agreed. The combination of wet/dry performance, price, and wear is great. I'm on my second set, and I'll probably need at least new rears around the first of the year.

 

Well, there you go. You should still be able to swap front to back with only .5" difference in rim width with the same size tire on both ends if the trade doesn't go through.

 

Just received front set from Phil (Gregor12). Thanks man!

Also ordered 4 xc ontinental DWS 06 for the set up.

Can't wait to put them on.
