Hey Scotty much love to you and your channel!!!! My question is about e-drive trains. My sister recently purchased a Lexus RX450h with the e AWD system and I wanted to know if the rules about having the same tires with the same amount of tread and the same type of tread matters here. (The ICE engine powers the front wheels and the motors power the back)

Thanks so much

It shouldn't since the front and back wheels are not mechanically connected, but check the owner's manual to be certain. (Not many people know that system was being developed over a decade ago by Saab before they went bankrupt.)
