    Knowing the awd system n tranny on the suby I heard.it was bad to ride with different uneven tires so...

    Would it better to ride with 3 used tires(w/ thread wear) and 1 new tire or 2 infront (w/thread wear) and two different ones in the rears ( w/ equal wear)??????

    I just blew my front tire also but the back ones were still in good shape. Instead of just replacing the blown tire, I replaced both of the front ones to make sure they aren't uneven. Just my 2 cents
