With my stock square set up, I don't notice any wandering at all.

Your have the data to tell you whats happening.
The stock front track of the X1 is one inch shorter than the back.
When you run the 8.5 and 10 inch wide staggered for summer you are most likely running an extra 1.5 inch track in the back for a 2.5 inch difference.
That's why my 8 and 9 inch wide stock staggered is 2 inch difference, and wanders like a bitch.
So, I put 12mm BMS spacers on front only, and reduced my stagger back to stock, and wander went away.
Steering also firmed up so I don't turn in too early.
Wear if any is insignificant.
Rears are still gonna wear out first.
I think I'll start running 32-35 front , and 35-38 rear.
