I will replace the front eventually with a little bit larger tire, probably 255/30, maybe 265. Keeping it under 26" diameter.

I can't really compare the traction Mich vs. Conti, since both sets were worn from the beginning. I can say the car can spin both fairly easily.

I'll post a pic or two after the new tires are on.

That's better! BUT! - NEVER go to Big-O in Yucca Valley California for tire service of any kind.
