I'm not counting on the remaining life of those summer tires, but they could be fun for exploring the limits of the car with whatever thread they have left.
Now my question... Michelin sells Pilot Alpin 5 tires in the OEM-fitted sizes (265 & 285). However, the 265 tires are meant to fit wheels from 9 to 10.5, and the rear wheels are 10.5, so I could technically install 265's all round despite the staggered wheel size.
Would you go with 265's all around or buy the "proper" 265F & 285R tires?
Either way I am not doing this until next fall.

285 rear. It’s not going to make a difference in snow performance, unless you need clearance for chains. And I can’t imagine you putting chains on.
