awdG35killer Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 all 4 tires wear the same right? cuz all 4 wheels are spinning during acceleration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Well it depends really on what tyres are getting traction and which ones arent. At the end of the day, yr steer tyres will always wear quicker than the two being pulled along. If you were to rotate every service period under normal driving, you shouldnt have too many problems with abnormal wear. Also keep a constant eye on yr tyre pressures as this can also affect the wear pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 You shouldn't be spinning any tires during acceleration. You're only more likely to be buying a new transmission very shortly. ;) Agctr has the rest. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken S Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I've found AWD tires to wear out more evenly than 2WD vehicles. The fronts do wear out slightly faster since they're the ones doing the turning. Keep rotating them and you should have very even wear. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outahere Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 As soon as I buy the car, I am going to do my best to wear out the RE92s within 5000 miles! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 That's why I took credit for mine and exchanged them out, so I wouldn't have to try and beat the snot out of them and the car just because I wanted them gone badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikibob1 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I had my dealer swap tires with my WRX trade-in so I could keep my 17x7 BBS wheels and Michelin 225 Sports A/S tires (great on dry, wet, and snow surfaces). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 The wheels will spin any time you are in motion, just hopefully they are less than the max friction available which means they'll be covering the same distance as the vehicle. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 You need to find the balance between traction and spinning depending on the conditions and the surface that you are on. With the AWD system, the power will be taken away from the wheel that slips to the wheels that grip, so you shouldnt really have extreme tyre spinning unless you are totally loading up the engine and then dumping the clutch. *Please NOTE, this is not a recommended practice* For more information, please read the back of this pack :o :D :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell them as new take-offs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
