Shaving new Tire for subaru AWD
Thought I would ask this question in this forum, as from what I read here, you guys seem pretty smart on mechanics.
So here is the story. Wife picked up a large hole in the right rear on our 2015 Suby Forester ( with 15K on the clock). Tire is not reparable. So options are 1)Replace all 4 tires, or 2) Dealer says they will get same tire and shave it down so it matches wear on the other 3. They say all will be peachy.
My understanding is Suby AWD, is extremely sensitive, and if tires don't match as to size (as in tread wear), you will blow the Tranny.
Until yesterday I did not know one could shave a tire. So any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Mod If I posted in the wrong place I apologize, please move as you see fit
