My 2003 AWD CR-V EX had a flat on the front passenger side after 15,000
miles. I found there was quite a significant thread depth difference between
the new tire and the worn tires. The other AWD car, a Subaru, I used to own
had a very tight tolerance for tire diameter difference. What about the
CR-V? Can I use the spare with the other three worn tires?

TIA

 

What does your owner's manual state?

I did check the manual. I don't think it has anything on the thread depth
difference tolerance. However it does mention that different tire diameters
can have an adverse effect on the ABS as the ABS is constantly monitoring
the speed of each wheel. It comes short of saying the tolerance is 1/4" or
1".

You say there was a significant difference in tread depth. What was the
measurement on both the new and old tire?

LC,


The manual doesn't really push it, but CRV, Pilot, and Element should
use a five-tire rotation to avoid the mess you're in now. I'd just put a
few pounds less in the new tire, and run the old tires at the higher end
of the inflation range. Like 29, 32, 32, 32.

I'd also be more concerned about the load on the rear differential than
the ABS getting fooled... ABS isn't that sensitive unless you're mixing
a completely different tire in the mix.
