Different Size/Brand Tires
Well I just turned 30,000 miles and my front tires are almost worn to wear indicators. Im starting to shop for tires because in the next month or so, I will be driving in Snow and mud. While I feel Michellin tires are the best Highway tire available, Im looking for something that will last and perform better on unpaved/gravel roads/Mt trails. Ive made up my mind to go with GoodYr Fortera/silent armor. The reason I want these tires is because I got close to 60,000 miles in above conditions, being that they are a 8ply vs the 4ply they will also be more resistant to belt breakage. My question to you guys is, will going to a different brand but same size tire harm my tranny or all wheel drive system. The guy at tire store said he saw a Subbie Outback damage its transmission becuase of brand different tires. I know from expierience that a 245/65 17 in 1 brand can have a different profile than that same size tire in another flavor.
Thanks
