The tread depth should be the only indicator needed for warranty/insurance coverage. If they are all below a certain amount they need to be replaced

So, a quick story.
Currently retired, but when active (Police) we had an AWD Explorer as a supervisors patrol car. At about 5k miles, we need a tire replaced as a result of a cut tire. Out shop replaced one tire. After driving a few blocks, the vehicle displayed CEL, ABS light & RSC light. The shop then replaced the other tire on that axle. Same condition returned. After replacing all 4 tires, the truck returned to normal. Keep in mind, our shop didn’t stock the same brand of tire so the tires were mismatched until all 4 were replaced.
As stated about, the tread depth will have a lot of affect on the drivetrain if you use the 4A setting on your transfer case.
Honda specifies 2/32’s difference on an axel and 4/32’s difference between front & rear axles before the computer will intervene.
I am surprised they asked for documentation. I would think any good insurance company would already have that information. Be careful, sounds to me like they are going for a minimum pay out.Thanks. That is why it is at the shop.
As their insurance is taken care of this I was told that if I can find any official documentation that two or four tires should be replaced then they will cover it.
