What if two rear tires are great and fronts are bad due to poor alignment and wear on insides significantly????????????????So what if I rotate two good rear tires to front and replace bad fronts placing new tires on rear?

Kia uses the same TOD system in their Sorento. They allow only an eigth of an inch difference in the circumference of each tire. Anything greater and the difference will cause damage to the transfer case over time. The greater the difference the faster the damage.

I have bought used rubber on this site and have had no problems swapping them out. Of course all were in good shape less than 10000 miles on them. Frankly I am surprised if it is so specific that the little spare works properly and a full size is not needed.

Correct me if I'm wrong but ...
If you HAVE to purchase only 2 new tires, they should go on the rear since the 'smaller diameter' old tires will be read as turning faster by the speed sensor. This will mean that the TOD will not be trying to engage to compensate for rear wheel spin.
That said, I don't advocate replacing only 2 tires. My front are also worn due to lack of rotation. I'll be replacing all 4 soon (anyone want 3 decent 33x12.50 Wranglers???)
