2001 Infiniti QX4 Automatic 4WD with RWD bias (4WD only kicks in when rear slips)
Had to replace one tire. Should new tire be on front with open diff or rear with LSD rated around 60lb breakaway torque?
The rest of the tires have about 60% tread left. Less than 15k miles on them.
I’m thinking front but want to make sure it won’t cause pulling to one side or mess something up.
Thanks!
EDIT: I know I should do pairs. Wondering if anybody had an opinion if I just kept the one.
Rule of thumb is what ever you do to one side of a vehicles axle you do the same to the other. You really need to get the other tire changed so there are 2 new ones of the same tread wear on the same axle.
You wouldn’t change only one brake rotor or do the LF brakes and not the RF brakes. You do them as a set.
Not only will your transmission and differentials suffer excess wear due to unever wheel speeds your braking and ABS will suffer too.
If you had a 1970s vehicle sure you can get away with this and probably won’t have any issues. But with a newer vehicle your only asking for more expensive issues.
Yeah I get that. Thanks for the advice. Could you tell me what’s best if u just kept one?
