Elk - you have provide me with good info on my posts so I will ask the question. I ordered the staggered 18" wheels on my MY13 M Sport versus the straight 18". What is your opinion on this no cost option? We do get some pot holes in Colorado during the winter so the lower profile on the rear would be a consideration except I will get a second set of same size 18" wheels and mount Nokian Hakk R's for the winter. I have a north facing bob sled run for a driveway plus am a skier so want the winter ice tires. Will run the RFT's until they wear out and get a high performance tire with emphasis on wet handling/stoping after that. Feel this is when tires really can make a difference. Thanks
