Mixing Old and New Tires on XC V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be ken on  Thu Sep 19 03:57 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I took delivery on a used '99 XC yesterday and I thought it had 4 new tires, but on closer inspection I can see that the front 2 tires are almost new Bridgestone Touring T/A, while the rear two tires are the same tire but have about 50% tread remaining. Obviously the tires had not been rotated properly by the previous owner and they replaced the 2 most worn tires and kept the tires with 50+% treadwear on the rear.

Will this cause an eventual problem with premature wear on the AWD?? Thanks in advance for your input.
