I may be forced to run a different pair of tires on my rear wheels for the time being...leftovers I saved in case of an emergency.
Will my AWD system be damaged if they have slightly less tread than the other pair...constanly shuffling power front to rear for the difference?

I did that once because I got a flat and, without thinking, threw something on quick to get to where I was going.... the sound of the transfer case crying is not a pleasant one!
Even having the the same tire with different amounts of tread left can be a problem, but generally different models/brands are going to have diferent outside diameters altogether.

Thanks for the caution Nick.
Don Jacobs called and said they found some corrosion on the wheel weight that was creating a gap and thus the slow leak. They said they removed the tire, cleaned it, mounted & balanced and now everything should be ok. I don't know why they don't use stick-on weights.
I've heard of ice/snow getting packed into the bead and that causing a leak, but never corrosion of a wheel weight.
The tires I have one now are Continentals, my emergency pair are old Pirelli M&S.

Sorry for bailing so fast last night. The NBPD swarmed my court. There were litterally 10 squads outside when I got there. Some guy was chased in a stolen car and ran thru my yard from what the police told me. Too bad Eva wasnt outside to take them/he/it out
