Hi all,
I just had one tire replaced on the GLI due to picking up a screw in the sidewall. Good news is that the set only had about 5K miles on them, so they are practically new. The newest tire is on the front and I'm measuring it's depth to be about 1/32" deeper than the rest. I want to keep it up front for a couple of rotation patterns to wear it down to match (vehicle is FWD).
I'm not too concerned given how close they are, but given that I have the VAQ differential on the front (basically a Haldex system only on the front axle) is that to be treated similarly to most AWD setups where circumference should be pretty close? I read somewhere that Haldex requires all tires to be within 4% on their AWD setups.
