Yup, but we all need to go down paying for that CPO warranty to figure that out.

Maybe I need another coffee but it’s the new tire that’d get shaved yes?

I’ve rarely been in this situation but just remember looking at relative difference In tread depth and making the judgment call.

I would think a call to a service writer could work or a quick Google search. I have had awd cars forever and even on my 2016 i was told a 4/32nd difference was the most I should go to stay safe on not fucking up a transfer case. And ya, you would shave down the new tire. Tire rack does that for $25 I believe.

Thanks all. I was feeling like shit yesterday (got a Covid test and will likely learn I’m negative is about a week), and I was hoping for a simple place to find an answer. Feeling better today. It’s a 2006 matrix, which has a simple viscous coupler awd system. Ive been owned awd cars since 2003 including a legacy with same awd tech, but never had to deal with this before. I know some awd systems are more sensitive than others.

Doing a little research this morning: owners manual says nothing quantitative. I haven’t found more than speculation so far on the internet. Ill measure tread depths and call the Toyota service center.

If it's a viscous coupling I'd just play it safe and get it shaved or make sure they are close.

Open diffs like our 4R I wouldn't worry about it.

Replace all 4, you miserly fuck.

**bodywhomper** · 10-09-2021, 04:14 PM

Lol

The tires new are 10/32” and the ones on the car are a hair deeper than 8/32”.

Btw, here’s an interesting related tire rack article: https://m.tirerack.com/tires/tiretec....jsp?techid=18

Makes sense that it’s mostly Subaru owners having problems. 2/32 tolerance

AudiAs published in their vehicle owner's manual, "rolling radius of all 4 tires must remain the same" or within 4/32-inch of each other in remaining tread depth.

PorscheCayenne within 30% of the other tire on the same axle's remaining treadwear.

NissanGT-R when replacing less than four (4) tires, each tire continuing in service must have at least 6/32 inch (5 mm) of remaining tread depth.

SubaruWithin 1/4-inch of tire circumference or about 2/32-inch of each other in remaining tread depth.

The other issue on this topic is all 4 tires should be the same make & model. My Cayenne was delivered to me with 3 different types of tires on it

That and a few other issues lead me to believe the previous owner was fucking clueless and didn't love the car. If cars could feel, I know Frieda is happy.

**jackattack** · 10-09-2021, 10:43 PM

I hope they changed the oil.

**frorider** · 10-10-2021, 07:15 AM

Just put a little less air in the new tire. OD is now 2/32” less.

That's what Big Tire wants you to think! Wake up sheeple!

A few drops of liquid Ivermectin in the diffs to protect the worm gears, run whatever tire size you want. Shit saved India, can definitely save an ancient Toyota.

Ran into my former-ish neighbor. He’s been professionally wrenching Toyotas for over 30 years. His assessment: it’s all good. He took a look. He could actually explain why.
