Anyone running this setup?

I’m considering 255/35/20 front and 295/30/20 rear for winter. Would this work without throwing the 4Matic system off? Can’t find a winter tire in 265/35/20.

I did have this setup but with all seasons. No problem (no errors).

There are many options at TireRack for 265/35/20 - I'm running that at all four corners.

I have (and like) these and they work well in the up to 6" of snow I drive in:

Sorry for delay - didn't get a notice of the reply...

I got a separate set of rims, square and 20X9 - smaller than stock rears.

I wanted to be able to swap out winter/summer easily and also don't think that 265/35 will work on stock wheels (tires too narrow).
