Mismatched tire sized on 93 AWD w/ LSD
I have a set of tires and rims that are on my FWD but they are 225/45/16 up front and 225/50/16 in the rear. According to a tire calculator, there is a 3.7% difference between the 2 different sizes. Can i compinsate the size with less air presure? I'd put the 225/50's in the rear and 225/45s up front. If I can compinsate, how do I test this so I don't damage the LSD?
