I have heard it said, here and elsewhere that if you don't run exactly the same tires all round , then you risk damage to the transmission, specifically the bevel gear. Now what is the explanation for that? Surely there is a centre (front to back) differential as well as both side to side diffs, that permit unequal motion on the wheels. And of course has to allow for a single wheel lockup on braking, or slipping on ice, without damage.
So what is the real cause of broken bevel gears?
I'm anxious to know as I have one in my sites to buy.
