Hello All, LOVE this forum! Thank you! I bought a 2001 Forester S on Saturday, with standard (manual transmission), stock alloy wheels, and tires in good condition. I had a screw removed at Les Schwab today, and the tech said I should have matching tires front and back or I could damage my vehicle due to the AWD. The tread style is very slightly different on the front and rear tires, but the dimensions are the same, according to the numbers on the side of the tires... Do I really need to replace my tires immediately to avoid damaging the AWD?
Thanks for any and all feedback.
