YUGO is coming back to America! (maybe)

i'd probably put the new one on the back

My limited grasp of the maths involved, says that messes less with the expensive center diff than on the front

A Yugo (original CZ model) was technically just a Fiat 128 built under license. So a copy of a Fist 128.
The torque steer was insane.
Step on the gas the car goes left. Take your foot off the gas the car goes right.

wiggle your left ear to turn left

You want one, buy a new one, dont trust previous owners to have strictly adhered to the same-size-tires thing.

This is true for any modern AWD car.

I find any system that can't tolerate a few percent difference in tire size to be absurdly worthless.

See above and don't buy a new AWD car ever regardless of manufacturer.

My dad ordered an AWD Astro Van in 1992 and waited six weeks for it to be built. He loved it enough to have the stretched chain in the transfer case replaced. But when he got a travel trailer he needed something with a V8.

All that being said, I am unsure what you point is. GM stopped making them 25-30 years ago and I said MODERN all wheel drive don't fair well with mismatched tires, including two new and two used of the same size and brand. Some people think all tires of the same size are the same size but they are not.

As it happened, that's where the bad tire was. So far so good. The Subaru doesn't get much use but it has been such a reliable car that I hate to part with it. I'll probably give it to my youngest son if and when his old Camry dies on him.

i just took don't ever as never and i understand about the tire issue. what would you buy in a new 4x4 that gets decent mpg
