Matching tires

[Robert Stull]

I had to replace a right rear tire on my new 24 Outback Onyx XT. It is not exactly the same tire I found out. Original tire is Yokohama Avid GT; replacement is Yokohama Ascend GT. Will this cause problem with the car ... or should I get another new tire?

depending on how old the other three tires are. it could cause a problem, if they are relatively new than it shouldnt cause any problem. my honest opinion is that whenever i need tires i just replace all 4 at the same time so i dont have to worry about any problems later on

AWD needs all four to be the same wear, I believe.

Look in your manual. The circumference must be close on true AWD vehicles.
