    Guys... ok lang ba ito?

    I've read somewhere that this isn't advisable on vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive / full-time 4wd (like the Rav4, Xtrail, Fortuner, etc.).

    Masisira kaya ang differentials mo?

    Around 85% pa kasi yung nakalagay as spare... balak ko is to pair this with a new tire (instead of buying two new tires).

    Sir any reason behind why hindi advisable? baka kaya hindi advisable kasi hindi optimum ang grip. pero sa differentials? hmmm... unless ang 4WD is real time which prioritize the wheel that is slipping...

    15% I think is too small a diference between the two. as long as the same size lang I think its ok.

    pero manonotice mo siya in terms of ride quality. lalo na if you are the type na sensitive ang butt sensor. :D

    as far as the diffs go, ok lang, 15% is not a large figure to cause concern.

    it will not affect the differential at all.

    yeah ride quality will change with different tread wear.

    sinasali mo ba yun spare tire during ur scheduled tire rotation? para d masayang and even un pudpud.
