How do my Tires affect my Transfer Case?

Dave at Lee Myles Auto Care in Reading PA walks us through a customer's concerns about their Nissan Murano.
The specific issue here was hearing a “grinding noise” when they were turning. This is an issue that can lead to a major repair if not taken care of promptly. Believe it or not, your tires can affect your drive train.
Unfortunately for this customer, their transfer case needed to be replaced during this repair. Your transfer case is what transfers power from the transmission to the axles in the front and rear of the vehicle by the drive shaft.
🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ “Why do tires on all-wheel drive (AWD) cars need to have matching treads?”
When you get new tires, this means the circumference is larger than the existing tire tread. Driving around with uneven tire tread can affect your vehicle’s performance, like in this case.
If you are having any concerns about your vehicle's drivability, give us a call at Lee Myles!
