Flat tyre after track day - any advice?

Best rumour through the door so far this week and far from the first time we have heard it - " I need a new set of tyres for my XC90, the dealer told me that if I replaced one then I would have to do them all because it would confuse the 4WD." Own up, any C4 owners heard that one before. If anyone has fallen for it, please be aware that your car is fitted with differentials which means that it should cope admirably with wheels turning at slightly different speeds, it was designed to.


i remember the Calibra 4x4 turbo was seemingly prone to knackering the diffs if different tread tyres were fitted..........AFAIK this wasn't a dealer induced rumour
