many thanks for all the advice. the vehicle is a 2001 model and I will be purchasing 2 new tyres that will go on the front that match the same size as the rear but i`m opting for a different brand. Then i Will be having a laser 4 wheel alignment as the steering wheel is slightly off centre when driving in a straight line.
I`m hoping one day to have this vehicle just right!! lol |

| If taking it in for alignment,give the track rod adjusters a good regular soaking of anti seize spray leading up to taking it in.Just in case the camber needs adjusting make sure rear adjusters too. |

On page 8-13 of the 2010 UK owners manual it clearly states 'When replacement of any of the tyres is necessary replace all of them' It goes on to say 'CAUTION always use tyres of the same size, same type and same brand and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of different size, type, brands or degree of wear will increase the differential oil temperature resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further the drive train will be subject to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure or other serious faults'

Yes - I was assuming it was a Mark 2 Pajero, as that's what most people who don't bother to tell us have  I can understand that for the Mark 3 and Mark 4 with stability control that it is more critical. |

Early mk3 did not have traction or stability control just abs. And should have rear diff lock too. Super select was basically the same as the mk2 but with more electric control and switches. |

Yep, my 2003 Mk 3 has no stability control and does have rear diff lock but interesting result after recently changing all five tyres.
With the old tyres - that looked equally worn and were all the same brand inflated to the correct pressure - there was a definite reluctance to return to 2-wheel drive after coming out of 4-wheel drive. A pothole or loose surface would usually do the trick but otherwise it might be 3 or 4 miles before the flashing green lights would disappear.
With new tyres it's completely different. Almost instant change from 2 to 4 and back again....which, I guess, is what it's supposed to do!

| Stability control was standard on 2004 MY onwards, I included it in my previous post as the OP had yet to identify his model. |

| Can you clarify if the problem with the differential arising if you don't have four tyres the same applies in 2WD as well as 4WD? Have a 2008 Pajero 2.8L Diesel African spec - no idea if it has stabilisation etc. Bad puncture means must replace tyre, so was thinking of putting spare (new) and new tyre (same brand if we can find...) on back and use old back as spare for time being. Running on bad roads, lots of potholes, but only exceptionally in 4WD. |
