So how do you like your setup so far? Any pro or cons? Improvment in MPG?

Setup is great so far. I would even venture to say it rides better than before - I honestly dont feel like I'm lacking anything from the staggered setup.
No noticeable change in MPG but I do find myself filling up the tank more because it's hitting the road more.

Any reason why you went with 245 vs 235 aside from it being wider? I want to go to a squared setup and want to use the Michelin CrossClimate2, but they don't come in a 245/40/R19 size.

My installer recommended 255/35 but I remember seeing someone on here saying they slightly rub with that size. Therefore 245/40 was my next option without any mods needed.
The other thing to consider when going squared from the fsport is the rears are 265, so 235 might be a little narrow for the rears.
