1 Bad Tire On S60R


KS70T5M

Recommended Posts

I'm almost certain you all will say replace all 4, but I wanted to make sure since I'm new to AWD and the rest of the tires just have so much tread left. Let me know if I have any other options.

Thanks.

You can get tires shaved frome tirerack. Or if your within spec then get a new one. The older AWD is 3/32 aloud difference but with the newer AWD it might be a bit more.

Must be same make and model tire as there can be differences between make/model.

Here's a way of thinking about it: (and btw, I agree, get the same make model of tire for all 4 corners)

The rolling diameter on our cars are not as picky as say a Subaru... but even so, a Subaru can take a lot more than most people recommend. The big question is, how long until the next one fails? And the next one? If you are at say, 5/32.. you are at the point where they are going to start being nail magnets, and much more likely to get damaged on a speed hump or anywhere else they take a hit... (less tread to cushion the blow)

And think about this: This is a high performance vehicle. It is capable of deep 3 digits... you want to have the best tread available on the ground to hold your car on the ground, and not have to worry about it.

Many old fashioned tire shops have a selection of take offs.

I got one for one of our 740s that was an exact match for my damaged one.

New tires can be shaved down to match older ones.

Have a real tire guy look at your tires - they see stuff you and I miss.
