Mixing tread depths

PackPride85 · 09-20-2017, 07:53 AM

Took my car in for the 10k maintenance and they found a nail in the sidewall of one of the rear tires. Getting a new one put on but curious if the mis-matched tread depth will cause any issues being on the rear? The wear has actually been decent (PSS) maybe a little less than half left on the other.

I had a front tire replaced at about 5k miles from a pothole and haven't noticed any issues but the wear was less.

As long as the difference isn't too great, you should be good (as long as the tires are identical)

I went through the same thing on my rears, and had a 2/32 difference in depth. Fixed it by swapping sides and taking it to the track
