Hello everyone.

I'm not worried about my tires, they seem to be wearing evenly and still have plenty of tread. They are just over 2 years and 12000 miles old.

Anyway one day hopefully a good few years away they will need to be replaced and a colleague who has a different make of EV is adamant that the drive wheels have to be replaced together.
And especially if one was to fail due to a puncture both would need to be replaced due to the size (diameter) difference of worn and new.

I would always replace both together but it got me wondering if odd size drive wheels throws the drive train and power distribution management system out?

Regards
Rob

It is worth noting that when fitting two new tyres, many tyre manufacturers recommend always putting these on the rear of the vehicle, irrespective of whether the vehicle is front or rear wheel drive. That is because it is easier to correct understeer than oversteer.
