No, I have 18" in the front, 19" in the rear. The tires on the rear are the Cooper Zeon 2 X S (255/35ZR19). I haven't driven it much in the rain or snow. there was a light rain the other and just kind of glossed the road and I felt like I was in Fast and Furious - Tokyo Drift. I had to start in second otherwise I broke loose. My dad's XFire has the continentals and mine has the coopers. His continentals give it a smoother ride. But, the coopers have a thicker sidewall so I gives it better handling. The tires I have on it now are probably 2 years old and it was sitting for awhile on them. So, I don't know how valid it would be for me to say that they don't the best traction. If I try driving with the ESP on, it will always lag out on me because they break loose fairly easily. Like I said though, this might have something to do with it sitting on the tires plus the ground is still fairly cold here.

The Coopers are good for better handling but it makes it ride a little rougher. This isn't a big deal due to the fact that it already has a stiff suspension and a stiff ride. I might be going with the Cooper Zeons again and see how they are fresh. My dad did say they were good when he first got the car. So we'll see. Hopefully this helps a little. I wouldn't consider myself a good source of information on tires or anything in regards to the XFire at this point. So, maybe do a little more research on the Coopers. If you find out anything let me know. That way I can decide if I want the Coopers again or if I should go with something different.
