bryanbone Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 So I just had to replace my two back tires (305-45-22) due to broken belts. My front two tires have less than half tread left on them. Will the difference in tire size damage the AWD transfercase? Thanks in advance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanbone Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Come on fellas. I know somebody knows. I measured them and the fronts are a quarter of an inch shorter than the back. Is this too much difference in height? I just don't want to kill my transfer case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanbone Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Should I have the back two shaved down to the same height? Would be cheaper than 2 new tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feece08 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Why would you shave new tires? Just buy two new ones, you should buy all new tires at the same time anyways(if you can)this way when u go to rotate you'll have equal tread wear seeing as how your awd...keep the two shitty ones up front for track days, usually on these trucks one side is more prone to spinning more than the others depending on the track.

built04SS Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 If im not mistaken i do believe that will mess it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanbone Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Ok, since I just bought a set of 22 inch replicas I went ahead and got two more new tires. Problem solved. But has anyone ever had their tires shaved so that they're all the exact same size? I can't find a shop near me that even knows what shaving is.

built04SS Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Nver heard of that ... are u worried abt the tire tread being diff since having new tires or are u trying to run 2 diff type size tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdavid0412 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 The slight difference in height in the tires should not make that much of a diference. Most trucks can even run diferent but close gear ratios and still not have problems. I think the % or tolerance in the diference is like 2-3%.
