Exactly, theres alot of room for improvement for the Baja because the parts are so interchangable with other models, especially axle ratio, engines, and suspension. With the Baja suspension and AWD you could easily find some Legacy 15s and run a common eco 185/65/15 and still be over the GAWR without losing much ride quality and actually improving ice and hydroplane resistance. For the dryer states theres even a fwd transaxle.
