What are you driving?

You should be fine. The potential problem is when one wheel on a full-time AWD drivetrain has a slightly different circumference and turns more or less times per mile than the other wheels. This puts extra wear on the clutches/viscous couplings/AWD, generates more heat and shortens drivetrain life. I think the AWD GMC Acadias recommend all tires being within a couple 32nds and shaving the tires down if they're not.
But it all depends on the drivetrain and how the system operates. So again the most important question is what are you driving? |
