The centre diff is an open diff, same as the front and rear diffs, it doesn't mind different speeds front to rear, it won't wear it out any more... During off road driving, it, and some rear diffs, have the ability to distribute the drive to where it is needed but this doesn't wear the diff. The earlier Range Rovers with diffs that you could "lock" are a different matter...

“I'm with Stan, much prefer the extra tread at the front especially in the wet when the extra tread depth will help stop the vehicle quicker than having more tread at the rear....

I'm with haylands, I prefer the new ones on the front where under heavy braking, most of the weight will be transferred.

There is no argument, it is a proven fact that if you are replacing just a pair of tyres it is safer to fit them on the rear axle.

Thanks all, stirred up a bit of ‘healthy’ debate too

I run several RR's and look after MANY MANY more... I always rotate mine every service point... Then I replace either all four tyres or sell the wheels with 1/3rd tyre tread (on eBay or alike) and replace them with a set of premium tyre'd new take off's... Happy days |

If any of you have ever tried riding a motorbike with a pair of brand new tyres you'd understand why New tyres should always be fitted to the rear. pretty scary. low grip = low stability / control = bruises and scratches.

I replace all four at a time when they are down to 4mm also run winters and summers. Not the cheapest way to do it but I do lots of miles and drive quite hard so think it is worth it |

always replace mine as a set before i read about the diffs so might replace axles in the future |
