Duffsaw Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 hi, i'm a relatively new subaru convert, having had only 2 foresters over the last couple of years, and so need a little advice. i damaged a tyre, beyond repair, and as the rest are at about 50%-60% wore, i was looking for advice, about this. this is where i feel like its a stupid question, but i've heard that uneven tyres can be a problem with AWD's, and wanted to know if replacing one, or even two was ok, or is it a 4 tyre at once situation? i have one other tyre, with a bit of wear, on the rear nearside, that i could change , but as i say, trying to avoid changing all four if possible, unless necessary. appreciate your help, ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitman Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 may be getting the same brand / type tire with 50%-60% wore? then you have all the tires the same what is better for the AWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtir250 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 You will be fine with a new tyre or a part worn, its only if you run a 4x4 with different wheel & tyre sizes that you can do damage to the awd/4x4. EG: different rolling diameters across the axels. Ive owned 3 Mitsubishi evo's a shogun and a Sunny gtir and now the forester sti and all have been fine when having to run new & worn tyres together. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
