I can't find the answer in the manual which is "generic" for all models. One reviewer stated that with the AWD package on the GT models, all 4 tires are the same size. I know this is true for the all-weather tire option on 18" wheels, but what about the AWD with standard tires? Obviously the front/rear are different on the RWD GTs. but can someone who actually owns a GT AWD tell me if the AWD requires same size tires front/rear, or if they are staggered the same as the RWD.

Hey [MENTION=456]mldavis2[/MENTION], I'll check on this tomorrow for you. I'm pretty sure that they're the same size on all AWD's but I'll verify that in the am.

Bummer. Probably the smaller front tire sizes then. Thanks for checking.

Hey [MENTION=456]mldavis2[/MENTION]. Just confirmed.

The AWD with the 19" rims ARE STAGGERED size. 225 ZR on the front and 255 ZR on the rear!

Thanks. There was a misinformed reviewer who apparently had the 18" wheels on the AWD he was testing and thought it applied to the 19" tires as well.
