[QUOTE="JAndreF321, post: 1765069, member: 40327"] I think most newer AWD systems have more than just a viscous center differential. BMWs have had wet clutch, electronically controlled transfer cases since 2003. The difference in tire diameter causes the computer to actuate the clutch repeatedly and cause them to wear/fail prematurely. In the case of BMWs, the wear must be within 1% to ensure the xDrive system is working appropriately. This is usually a stupid problem because of the all time all wheel drive with rear bias and staggered setups that ///M models run. You end up having to change tires early as preventative maintenance. For the Raptor, which also uses an electronically controlled wet clutch, this would only come into play if the tolerance for clutch actuation is low and the difference in tire wear is high...and you drive around in 4A all the time...and we assume the Raptor's transfer case clutches aren't Built Ford Tough. The clutch assembly in the transfer case would wear faster and fail earlier. [/QUOTE]
