Sorry about the direct hit!

As far as the setup goes... mine sits on Conti Winter Contact 810s (235s all round) and I am amazed how little wheelspin there actually is! These tires actually provide better launch grip than do both the stock Michelin as well as my Pirellis (both 265s of course). Nonetheless... I'm pretty sure the rears will only last a single winter.
