rolly Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 After hearing so much about the benefits of the AWD, I'm very interested but I'm concerned about the problems with tire availabilty. Can you get AWD without 19" tires? I got burned when I got a blowout on my 2001 Neon, which had an odd size tire and had to replace all four at the same time. This wouldn't be an issue if it happened close to home, but my wife and I are planning a long road trip through the States and I don't want to get caught in the middle of nowhere with this problem. It sure would be a buzz kill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derekmclain9 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 With all wheel drive you would most likely have to change them all to avoid problems with the all wheel drive system from tires with different tread wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 So even if I could get them with another size tire, I'd still have to change all four anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moparman Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 1. the tire size is not hard to find in 19, just go to 235 if your having hard luck finding them. Tire rack can have them to you very quick though for that matter. 2. You only have to change all 4 ,if they are more than about 1/2 worn. Not like blowing tires are a big issue anymore anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks, that makes me feel better. The other advantage of AWD was the bigger brakes. I really like the R/T! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moparman Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Handles very very nice for its size, I'm impressed. Drives "small" for its size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
