Tire Sizes, AWD Vehicles

~1min read

Note the following regarding AWD vehicles:

Only tires having the same size and are manufactured by the same manufacturer and have the same profile may be used on the front and rear. Different rolling circumferences will lead to tension on the drivetrain and increased tire wear with possible damage to the drivetrain. This also applies to front and rear tires that are worn differently. In this case, install tires with a larger tread depth.
