    threshold of TOD malfunction

    in my search for used offroading tires ive come across another good deal.. 3 mostly new BFG ATs and 1 slightly used BFG AT on 16" AR wheels... im concerned that the slightly used wheel is gonna send my differential or TOD into a fit though. anyone know how big a difference they can handle before throwing a fit?

    here are photos of the tread difference...

    I would say you are fine. Put it on in the rear. I had a flat and had to put a brand new tire on with 3 worn. No problems.

    Do not put it on the rear you will destroy your limited slip rear diff. If you have tires that are a larger diameter you want them on the rear. And I am not saying you can run different size tires on an all wheel drive vx. And I do not now how much of a difference is ok. If you get a flat on the rear you must move one of the front tires to the rear and use the spare on the front. This is why the spare tire is useless. shawn

    Yeah I should have clarified what I meant. Should have made sure that it was clear my new tire (larger in diameter) went on in the back.
