The door pillar sticker says my X should have 265s in the front 275's in the rear. (These are the normal 20" wheels, staggered, 9" wide in front, 9.5" in the rear.)
I bought it used with 45k mi. Apparently at some point the previous owner changed the tires. Great. But on the fronts they put 255's not 265's
What is the practical effect of doing this?
Note we are taking about the rainy Pacific Northwest where some years you might get a couple inches of slushy snow on the ground for a day or two.
It will be time to replace this set soon, so now I'm just wondering why not go back to 265's in front...
