yes that was my believe too.And i was planning to buy new tires too. So that is why i got 255's for this year to learn the car with the S-AWC. And i was planning to get 275's for next year

. But i will stay until my tires are done on the 255's.
Because the S-AWC i think the car behave more smoothly. So the end results are the less abused tires.
Also my car is not much heavier then the my IX was, And certainly not from my VIII SSL.
/it is little under 3300 lb without me and full gas of tank/

Just amazed me how the tire looking after we took them of the rims. I never really checked them since i thought , i will get new ones anyway.
