Changing two at a time is fine on the FL2.

Although common advice is to change all 4 tyres at a time on an AWD car because of the way the car calculates and sends power to the wheels, some cars can handle it.

Doxxen is correct in general, but the FL2 is an exception. The Haldex unit varies the torque according to various parameters - it's not fixed as in a conventional limited slip diff - and is not fazed by slightly different rolling radiuses front and rear. So changing two is fine. (In fact, running different tyres sizes front and rear probably wouldn't do any damage either, but I wouldn't recommend it!) |
