Again,you will destroy your center differential if you run badly worn tires and good tires mixed together on an AWD car,it does not matter what the power split is,it is universally a bad idea.

You want all the tires to be as uniform as possible,if you get new tires and have an AWD car,don't be cheap,get 4 good tires.

Also,on a dry road the worn tires will have more grip as they have more contact area with the road,why do you think they use slicks in racing?

Oh yeah - I agree with that - but if you're forced to use mixed sets on an AWD car, and the power balance is 50/50 (very rare) then I would want the better tyres on the front.

However... generally the power balance is more biased toward the rear of the car to get the most acceleration (due to the torque moment created under accel)... so the better tyres would go on the back in most instances.

But obviously... it's much better to run 4x even tyres.

I don't drift I waft to work

Ahhh... I wish I could sail to work (when I get a job)... lol

That would be a nice, relaxing way to wake up in the morning.

Although... drifting to work would certainly wake you up! heh... obviously I would much rather be drifting at work though.
