blown tire

i was told today that if i was to change one tire on my evo then i would have to change all four since the evos transfer case has ZERO tolerance for any slight difference in thread...

is this true or is someone trying to foul me into buying 3 extra tires????

Zero tolerance is an overstatement. If that were true you could never turn a corner since that runs the differentials too.

You could buy one tire that matches the others and have it shaved if you are worried about matching the size.
