The natural assumption is the wrong one and the likely reason that the installation of two new tires is done wrong on so many front wheel drive cars." ajforeignauto.com/… | |
| Aug 21, 2013 at 14:55 | comment | added | mac | The line of thinking you describe implies that drive traction is the most important characteristic. Drive traction is not generally a life-safety concern, while stability in cornering and braking certainly are. The logic behind the quote from the owners manual that the OP provides applies to both front- and rear-drive vehicles. | |
