    Found a set of used tires Two of these tires have 7.5/32nds to 8/32nds of tread remaining and the other two tires have 9/32nds to 10/32nds of tread remaining. Im just wondering if the tread depth difference is enough to mess up my center diff? Or should I save up and get new

    You could get them shaved to match. But I don't know if the cost of shaving will offset the saving of buying used.

    Just my 2 cents never buy used tires. You have no clue if the tires have broken belts or anything you cant see from the out side or in side of the tire. Save your self a headache and buy a new set of tires....

    used tires are for DSM's and Honduh's
