Ok, if i won the award for the stupidest question this year, so b it . I was curious if would even be worth it to run slicks on the rear only. I have access to two evo rims for dirt cheap and want to put MT cycle slicks on ( ive read the debate on safety) and wanted to know if im wasting my time with this thought. why not all 4? because of cost. My thought is, since most of weight transfers to the rear, why not just the rear. comments?

 

hahaha...say bye bye to your transfer case...so no I would say that is a terrible idea...

 

u cant on an AWD car dummy. tires need to all be same size. yes dumb ? of year award is you

 

There are several reasons.. 1 is that the overall diameter will be different from front to rear and will tear up the driveline.. But the main reason is what spins on the Evo is the 2 front wheels not the rears.. When weight shifts to the rear the front light up like a fwd car.. it doesnt matter what you have for a diff, quaife, RS etc.. Same story..

only if you put snow tires on the front!! lol

 

^ how about skinnies on the front

 

ill vote for u

 

vroom-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra **green light** KAPOW!

 

LOL. yeah. my main concern was the difference in size. but if its close i didnt think it would be that big a deal. hey, at least i won some kind of award :P

 

no need to a major **** about it. jeez.

 

didnt mean it that way bro just bein sarcastic. just buy 4

 

well, sounds like a no then. I just thought if i matched the diameter of the slicks to the street tire on the front it wouldnt be bad. I guess not. so why would it matter what KIND of tire was on the rear or front if they are the same diameter? curious?

 

why not get the two and then find 2 more then u wont have a problem?

 

well, i was just trying to be cheap. i guess i should have put more thought into it b4 i asked. Its probably best to just buy 4 bfgs and call it a day, a safe one too. :P

 

AWD means all wheel drive, therefore, all tires need to be the same.

Even is everyday tires are different between the front and back, the ACD on 05s and 06s throws a code for the ACD. All tires need to be the same. Think, all the high performance awd evos you see at the track run slicks on all four.
