Default Couple questions about Tires?

Currently I have 245/40zR18 Toyo T1s. I love these tires especially in the rain. Anyways, I have a bad habit of not rotating tires and my back tires need to be replaced. Does it matter having same tires all around the car? I found some Toyo T1s but 235/40zR18 but will it still fit my 18x8 rims? Anyone else recommend a tire similar to the Toyo's?

Default You do not want different sizes on an AWD car, especially not long term.

It is onlt a 4mm dif in radius but still, not a good idea. Especially over several thousand miles. Puts a lot of extra strain on the AWD system. Could also throw off ABS and ESP.

Default You can actually tow a haldex car with a stinger, no need for a flatbed

Unlike the rest of us with torsen systems.
