I would use those tires on all four corners. Larger tires on the rear will
change the caster angle of the front wheels.  Can make handling scary.  Been
there, done that.  I have the Wrangle Aquatreads on my Syncro.  Excellent all
around tire.  Dunlop Rover GTX is also HR speed rated.  Should provide crisp
handling.

Hi,
I like to know if there is gonna be serious safety implications if I use
different tire sizes between the front and rear.


I have 215/60 14" at all 4 corners now, I am thinking of putting 215/70
14" sport utility tires at the back to improve traction in snow.
Thinking of the Dunlops Rovers or the Goodyear GS-A tires.


Any advice?
