I know, I know. "you have to replace all 4 tires". These are my super expensive studded nokian tires. They have about 5000 miles on them. I just can't imagine the rear diff can't make up for a couple 16ths of an inch without exploding. If that were the case why does it even have a spare tire (which thankfully was in perfect shape today.)
I don't see the AWD system on this POS truck to be so advanced that it would really be THAT picky, so I'm wondering if there is a spec for HOW different the tires can be. Obviously If I drive once around the block on new tires I can replace one tire. So how about twice? Or 100 miles? 1000? 5000? There is a line, so where is it?
This is a $1400 set of tires that still has two winter seasons left. I'm looking for miracles, I know. But i don't want to put another dime in to this awful vehicle. I just need to keep driving it another couple years until I'm at least even on payments since it lost $15,000 in value in two years while simultaneously needing a complete new long block engine as well as about $6000 in non engine repairs. 130,000 miles.
