I'm not worried about the width of the 295/40/20 for winter where I live - we mostly get rain and occasional slushy snow. The Pirelli Ice & Snow are great in these conditions as I ran them on my Touareg for a few seasons in a 275/40/20 square set up.
I'd run the 275/40/20 on the fronts, but the outer diameter of the 275/40/20 tire is 728mm and the 295/40/20 is 744mm so I'm worried about running that much of an OD difference even though 16mm/0.6" is not that much.
So, I'm only really worried about the clearance for the 295/40/20 on the fronts so I can run a 295/40/20 square set up for winter. I may just end up test fitting them and will post my feedback. If they don't clear, I'll put the 275/40/20 on the front and see how it works out with the OD differential.
If anyone has experience mounting a 295/40/20 on the front, I'd still like to hear any feedback - thanks
