Just would like to know if one tire goes out on an all wheel drive do I have to replace all four tires? I have heard mixed answers...

Hi there,

No you don't have to replace all the tyres, it is a good idea to try and rotate the tyres so they wear evenly, but the transmissions center diff will over come and transmission wind up due to uneven rolling diameters of the tyres.
