AWD tire help
Probably best asked on a car forum but I know we have a few experts here.
Wife hit a screw with her ford explorer. It's just past the edge of the tread so I don't think repairable. Doesn't seem to be into the sidewall but makes me nervous to plug or patch.
Couple questions:
Being AWD do all 4 tires need replacing. Currently have about 58000km, tires measuring about 6/32. Google has varying opinions, mostly depending on model and how big a chance you want to take.
Second will lt tires make it ride like a 1 ton? I'm looking at reviews and bfgoodrich ADVANTAGE T/A SPORT LT seem great but are lt tires. Load rating is 109 and currently the car has the stock hankook with load rating 104. Will that make a huge difference?
Looking to go with an all weather tire that's snowflake rated.
