Some serious scaremongering posted on the Souza Tires website...and information posted here...

All AWD vehicles are affected similarly..they need to be flatbedded if broken down not towed with one axle in the air..

Want to make it really mindblowing...Then try and figure out how a Porsche with AWD and staggered tire sizes front and rear can successfully exist..especially if the tires are not exactly the same dimensions to less than 0.10"

There are so many variables, tire circumference as measured, true diameter, tire pressure.

And that is not taking into consideration that when there is weight on the tire... the diameter isn't true..the flat spot or contact patch..

And the fact that tires travel different distances when turning...


Say 25" dia= 78.54" circ... so if measured circ is 74.79" ( 0.25 diff) then dia is 25.08...or 24.92...if smaller..

If 0.08" difference in diameter makes Subie transmissions fail... I doubt they would be still making cars..
