this... OEM summer tires fronts + all season rears is going to cause you major handling issues

I ran these same tires for awhile - AP1 OEM specs all around. They are great daily driving tires, but when you try to push them they are not friendly at all. Granted, this is to be expected with this type of tire. I left them on 16" for heavy rain/snow in this area, but you will see a dramatic decrease in performance if you've ever pushed the car pre-DWS tires.
