Should all 4 tires be exchanged at the same time in order not to destroy the transfer

Good to know the ATC500 can take some abuse and still be good to go for many more miles!!

Difference of tire traction capability will not fool the computer. It senses loss of traction and compensates accordingly.

The wear difference side to side from a new tire to a tire that has a few miles left on it won't cause any problem.

On a square tire setup- If you change tire height of one end all four tires should be changed to match.

On a staggered setup- If you change tire height of one end you should also change the tires to the same height on the other end.

The factory handling characteristics include choice of tire size. When you change tire height or tread width it changes handling. If you change tire height it also changes final drive ratio. Taller tire will reduce acceleration and increase top end. Shorter tires will improve acceleration and reduce top speed. Shorter tires can reduce mileage.

I have no interest in taller tires as they also raise the center of gravity and stock tire size already allows a top speed I never should be going on the street.
