AWD ratio?
Got a flat on the front driver side. They are snow tires. Can I put my all season tire on? Will it effect the driving? Maybe use it on the rear instead? What is the all wheel drive ratio, 50/50 or 60/40? Maybe this will determine where to install the all season tire?

Re: AWD ratio?
Yes it will affect it. Just swap on all 4 of your all-seasons.
I can get around just fine with my all-seasons in deep snow.

Re: AWD ratio?
The ratio changes according to wheelspin. In normal driving it's 90/10.
It's likely a different circumference than the snow tires, so it should be put on the rear and install the FWD fuse under the hood. Get the flat fixed ASAP and get back to AWD. |

Being the rear on the SVX is a Limited Slip, one odd tire is a bad ideal on the front or back, put 2 matching on the front or back, and install the FWD fuse until you have 4 matching on it....
