What tires are you replacing with 4 wheel drive?

posted on 2/9/2017 6:34:30 AM

Q: Do I really need to replace all 4 tires at the same time for an all wheel drive vehicle? - Mr. Bowman

 

A: Dear Mr. Bowman,

Vehicles with all wheel drive systems need all 4 tires replaced at the same time because the differential and the computer work together to send the right amount of torque to each wheel to minimize slippage and maximize control. Even if only 1 of the 4 tires is the wrong size the computer will take an incorrect reading and the differential will work too hard and over time will burn out the drive train.
