@W0LFB3AT5:

There are always exceptions, like mis-matched tires on an axle, multiple non-repairable punctures, or companies with fragile, overly-complex AWD systems: some require the maximum difference in tread from front-to-rear to be no more than 3/32. Like Mercedes for example, and not for a Honda Civic.

If you paid $2K for (4) new tires on your last car, just be prepared to add 50% to that for runflats on the new one :(

@Sharp_Coyote:

Heh! Most mass marketing cars would accomplish a simple procedure when it comes to a simple repair.

But with high end vehicles, it’s a whole different story and someone starts batting an eye that costs an arm and a leg.
