Hey guys, recently I found a cut in the sidewall of one of my tires and didn't think much of it as when I got them (from walmart) I got the road hazard warranty.
I run 31X10.5r15 Goodyear Wrangler Authority A/T's on stock rims (Link to tires on Walmart)
Last week I went in and they told me the tires had worn down from 18/32" to 15/32" and they were only going to replace 1 tire. I pushed back against that because I know that if nothing else you need to replace them in pairs. They ended up not having time to work on it, so I left for the day.
I made an appointment and came back today and was told that 3 of the tires were at 15/32" and the damaged tire was at 14/32".
I told them it was a 4WD truck and that at 3/32" under new size that puts us at about 3/4" under new circumference. The spec on the truck (from what I can gather) is that all tires need to be within 1/4" circumference.
They took the truck in saying they would replace at least 2 tires and measure the circumference and see about another two.
Came back 90 minutes later and they replaced only the 2 rear tires (the damaged one and the one across from it). To there credit they didn't charge anything including install cost. I left it at that for the day.
Given we are in the summer I dont think it will matter too much now, but being in Montana you run 4X4 on paved roads in the winter. Should I just be happy with this, or should I go back and get them to replace the other 2?
It is 3 times out of spec and I don't want to need to replace the transfer case, but if the spec is just tighter than reality and it won't do damage then I don't really want to deal with fixing this.
Also, would this cause ABS issues?
