Yes, times change. We all used to be riding on skinny, non-radial tires as well. As the purchase would be the XWD, as pointed out, no need to fear torque steer. The XWD does add some weight to a car that is already pretty solid, so I was seeking some real-world experience and on-line reviews have said the performance was barely adequate. Even the 2.8 got bumped from 250 hp to 280 hp from 2008 to 2009.
If one is willing to sacrafice some fuel economy for performance - within reason - I think that is nothing crazy.
Any actual owners that can provide some info? Maybe there are some T8 aftermarket tweaks that can bump the 2.0 up. I'll see what the folks in Performance have to say.
