lol this will be my exact setup.

Since my car will be an xdrive car i need to keep the rolling diameter as close as possible and the 245 tire up front only comes in one version, the K1 spec.

I didn't mind it up front since i'm not losing any tread wear but the rear size was nuts. 7/32 for a brand new tire?! Thats why i exchanged them for the normal spec version and will be running that in the back.

Spoke to two different Michelin reps and they both said that these tires will handle exactly the same. Who knows though...they didn't sound like engineers so....
