Is it really critical to make sure the tyre depths are the same on all four, obviously I will get it checked tomorrow see what the local tyre company say.The only safe answer is no both tyres need to be the same diameter, if anyone says it will be fine and then the vcu goes bang, you'll blame them. If it was mine though, I wouldn't worry.

Hi can I drive my freelander with 6mm at both rear tyres and 5mm on front tyres only I heard it can damage the vcu and I only recently had this renewed.

They are identical as in size wise profile etc they are different makes however as the garage didn't have the same type that was on there but they are same size wise.
I initially said it's ok with 1mm difference in tread depth, however I didn't know it had odd tyres at the time.This is all very confusing I have had some people telling me not to worry and then some telling me to change all four tyres
£700 sounds like a lot for a part that costs under £250.I have just spent 700 getting the vcu sorted and now it's going to cost me how much getting four complete tyres, I'm thinking bout taking the props off and running it 2 wd so would that make it easier for the tyres as my job means I can't afford this cost of new tyres after the vcu cpent me out
What size and type? You only have 2 odd tyres, so you only need 2 matching tyres .How much is four tyres roughly.
There shouldn't be any vibration, so the transmission is complaining about the current set up.Or could be just road noise on certain types of tarmac it sounds very loud and slight vibration difference is this normal.
Your right I will try to get 2tomorrow and have them put on hopefully this will make a difference. The back ones are only about two months old and only done about 500miles so hopefully they have the same make size etcA blown IRD costs a lot more than a recon VCU to fix. Plus of course, you'll probably have trashed your new VCU as well.
The best solution is to get 2 new tyres the same as the best type on the car, fit them to the back and the old ones on the front.
