295/45 matches up perfectly with 265/50.

im doing the same setup but only the front using 265 50 20
To much of a spread for the diff and will most likely cause issues.

Yeah, that's over 2% difference in rolling diameter. That's sort of on the cusp of whether or not you'll have issues w/ AWD. Probably not worth the risk.

As said, do 265/50 in the front, 295/45 rear.

Seems everyone is happy with the Parada's, and I havnt heard any complaints about the hankooks either (ventus RH-06's).
I have the kooks on my GTR's and I am extremely happy with both wet and dry performance.

You can refer to this tire size calculator

On a similar note, are 275/45/20s paired with 295/40/20 within tolerance level on an AWD? There's about 4cm variance in rolling diameter on this set up.

It's a little over 1% difference. It should be fine since no one can quite pin down the exact tolerance of the AWD system. Some say 1%, some say 2%, Nissan says 0%. But you could get to a 1% difference through tire wear, so the system has to have some sort of tolerance in it. I would say a 265/45 up front would be better since that will have a variance with a 295/40 of only .4%. I've personally run 265/40/22 up front with 285,295,305/35/22"s in the rear with no issue for the last 26K. All of those differences were under 1% and I never triggered a slip light and my transfer case hasn't exploded yet.

I got them from www.discounttiredirect.com a couple months ago. I had heard they were no longer made, but have never not been able to get them. I've also ordered from stores on eBay.
Thanks Shadow. I planned to use my existing 275/45/20 for the front especially they are still pretty new with only a little over 1k miles on it.
