Why Correct Fitment Matters on Evo AWD Systems

The Mitsubishi Evolution AWD system is highly sensitive to rolling diameter differences. Incorrect tyre sizes can cause:

  • Transfer case damage

  • Uneven torque distribution

  • Premature tyre wear

At AUTOSPORT TYREWORLD, we ensure:

  • Correct stagger/rolling diameter

  • Proper load ratings

  • Precision wheel alignment
