Hi folks, Merry (post) Christmas, I hope everyone got great deals on gifts.
I have a question.
I know that when I posted previously asking , if all 4 tyres have to be changed at the same time on 4WD/AWD the answer was YES all tyres have to be, and the same pattern and all treads have to have (3/32 max) 10% difference between the thickness of all 4 tyres.
Now here is the kicker on AWD /4WD vehicles with dual motors (ie xc90 T8, model X, outlander PHEV, model S 85D ) etc. etc. Can you get away with putting 2 new tyres on the front every year ,and moving the front rims to the back every year?
I would think the answer is yes because ,( dual electric motors) / ( hybrid "front" gas motor -"rear" electric motor) are physically not linked to each other as there is no traditional awd drive shaft to mess up ? Is this true or false?
Thanks.
PS: If I am technically wrong, please note I am not a mechanic.
