Hey Valk,
Great looking setup. Like it so much, I've decided to go the same route, only I'm gonna try the Conti DWS. The 285s have slightly wider tread width @ 10.6 compared to the 9.8 Hankook, with both having 11.6 section widths. I'm also thinking that going with 235s up front will level the XF a little better. I read through all the fitment threads and got mixed thoughts about the front fitment. Any particular reason why you stayed with the 225s?

FYI...joined C.I.C.C.I. last week!
