Run all around
I was wondering could I run all around with the rear stock tire size or front. How will this affect performance. The thing is I don't really want to buy double set when it comes time to rotate the tires. Tell me if this suggestion is bad too. Thanks

I don't understand your post. Stock tire size is 225/50/16 all around (which is what you should have, no?). Performance-wise, you'll have neutral handling because you have the same size wheels and tires at all four corners.

I run 245/45/16 all around. Look up tirerack.com and search by size.

Does it feel better than 50 all around?

With 245/45 over 225/50 you'd get *slightly* better traction because of the wider footprint.
