Ya everyone keeps saying that but I wouldn't have been able to keep my awd running right. My tires are perfect to my stock rotational diameter

I have a awd and I have no problems. I am running 225/40 and 255/35. What I suggested is .6 off and it wont effect awd. You could have went 235/35 and 275/30 and be the same front and back.

And you are absolutely correct but what ur forgetting is that u have to keep it within spec of original oem wheel rotation. This will adversely effect ur transmission in the long run. As far as my computer is concerned im still running stock sensors

275/30/20 is 26.5, not sure what the newer years oem rotation is, but for 2004 it was 26.3. You are running 26.8 so you running 1.8 taller than oem.

So in spec or what? Or do you have to run more negative camber than what factory specs ask you to?
