In talking with a couple of tire companies, they recommend replacing all 4 tires, or at least 2 (rear) tires at minimal. My friend who is much more mechanically inclined than I am recommended replacing all four:
"having the front and back at different wear tread depth will be hard on the transfer case"
Appreciated thoughts on this, fine CPers...
Not surprisingly, low stock levels on tires these days, limiting available options.
Thanks

Measure the tread depth and compare to the new tires. There usually is a tolerance that’s is allowed. Suburus are apparently bad for this. Essentially the old tires because they are smaller need to rotate further then the new tires which normally only occurs on corners so your transfer case / differential has to work harder
