New front tires, purchased from Amazon, arrived and were installed yesterday. When I tried to place the original order from Costco on Feb 20th, Costco, Tire Rack, NTB, Tires Plus, etc., had the front tire size on backorder. So now, just over a week later, all the new Bridgestone POTENZA RE980AS tires have been installed: Front 265/35/20 Rear 305/30/20.

Once the vehicle was back on the ground and all pressures adjusted, the front and rear Bridgestone tires appear to not be as wide as the MPS4S tires, especially the rear. I may get flamed, but you may be able to go with 315/30/20 on the rear with this particular tire. After the temps go back up, I will wash my vehicle, provide pics and you are welcome to chime in with your opinions too.

I'm including pictures of the worn-out MPS4S front tires, which like the rears tires, were worn to the cords on the inside edges. I should've replaced all the MPS4S tires several thousand miles ago.
