You get more binding when you turn than the tiny difference in gearing. Vehicles have come from the factory with gearing differences like this since the dawn of the 4wd. And technically the larger your tires is, the smaller that difference becomes.Phils67 wrote:Stuka wrote:This is entirely normal and will not be an issue.

Im concerned with in this situation, what part would fail first. That slight difference in a truck on 35s with front and rear lockers sounds like an eventual transfer case grenading during a snow storm
The difference in diameter from a new tire and one that's near bald is a bigger difference than 4.27 to 4.30.Phils67 wrote:Stuka wrote:This is entirely normal and will not be an issue.

I hate to bring up this argument again, but within normal range, tire circumference does not change measurably with inflation. Try it. Put a mark on your fully inflated tire, a mark on the ground, and roll forward 10 turns. Mark that spot, and roll back. Repeat with less tire pressure. You will measure the same distance.Heck, the difference between over inflated and under inflated tires can be more than that still.

No, it has tire pressure sensors in each tire. When you remove the tire, you will see a device on the inside of the valve stem, this measures tire pressure.SJTD wrote:I've been going round and round on that idea.
It made sense until I bought a '16 Jetta. It uses compares tire rotation to sense underinflation.
Had to look this one up. Turns out you are right, they changed it. Unlike every other car maker that uses a direct sensor to tell the car exactly what the air pressure in the tire is, VW has switched to this other method in 2015. So the car has no clue what the air pressure is in any of the tires, only that one of them may be turning faster than the others. Unfortunately the system won't know about a flat tire for quite some time later. If you get a flat that loses air quickly, it won't alert you. The TPMS versions know immediately.SJTD wrote:That's not what the owner's manual says.
