I best enjoy it now while I can.

I'm thinking though that I should have all seasons mounted onto the staggered setup. Would that be a bad idea in the winter? I've never owned a car with staggered tires before, so I'm curious.
I dont think its a bad idea if the tires existed. I don't believe there are any all season run flats in any brand available for the staggered 309s. The problem is the rear size. If it matters, I originally had ordered the all season 309 option
but after reading this board switched to the staggered set up. Of course, now this means winter tires and I think the only choice are the Pirelli sottozero
240s. Better performance but it's definitely more hassle.

That said, if you find an all season run flat that will fit the rears please let us all know.
