How stupid is this? Tires..
Hi Folks,
Here's the problem....
The '90 90Q20v I'm driving has a bent rim which contributed to "bad"
tire wear on the inside edge of 1 tire particularly.....as you know,
this couldn't be stopped even with proper rotation. The tire became
dangerously worn a short time ago and I DO endeavor to have this rim
fixed with my next set of tires (I purchased the car knowing about the
rim..and the tires are still the ones that came with it (Pirelli 600s)).
In order to drive on the Pirelli's for another month or two before going
to snows I put on a used Goodyear GA of the exact same size (well, I
hope).
All tires are indeed now 195/60 14s but I'm wondering if even a very
slight difference in tire sizing will put undue strain or the center
diff. I was thinking no, since a person could drive with different rates
of infaltion on same make tires and get a similar result (NO?).
Question: Is this right thinking..or am I being a cheap
bastard and ruining my center diff on the way home
tonight?
Thanks,
Paul Royal
