I believe I know the answer, but want to verify with the knowledgeable folks
2000 AWD, had a flat tire a few months ago, replaced the tire and went about. Fast forward a few months and time for tire rotation. There has been a small vibration when slowing down from 70 and now after the rotation, it's worse.
My question here - do the tires need to be the same size and tread depth? Or will 3 older tires and 1 new one cause an issue? Is it a time bomb for the transfer case or trans? I'm guessing atleast 2, if not all 4, should be the same size and tread depth.
Thank you!
