Mismatched tire question
Hello. New owner of a 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander LS here.
On my vehicle the RR tire is from a different manufacturer than the rest. I know on 4x4's you need all matching tires but I'm not sure if that's the case for this vehicles AWD system. Should I fork out the cash and buy all new tires? Is it completely unnecessary?

Upon further research I have decided to just trade my tires at a local used tire shop. Apparently the 4wd system should be able to adjust for the difference but it still could cause excessive heat and wear. Better safe than sorry.

We had this problem last year. We blew a tire with a good amount of tread remaining. We ended up replacing just two, put them up front and ran around in 2wd until they were sufficiently wore down. Took about half a year.
