Replying to: jonathann (Apr 25, 2009 10:33 am) oops! didn't know you were in Canada... well - at least go with a tire that has a better rating than the OEM bridgestones - and changing the size may offer a less expensive tire... tirerack is good for research - then you can find what you need up north...

Some places will "trim" your tires. Basically cut off the tread. Or, find out what rear wheel spins easiest.. install tire and smoke them a few times ! These newer AWD aren't like the old Jeep 4WD systems. There is lots of give. I would put any single newer tire up front. More give up there as there is a 40/60 transfer. Or is it the other way around ? ?
