Slashed tire on a Ford Edge SEL AWD.
I drive a Ford Edge SEL AWD and recently had one winter tire slashed. These tires had a tread wear of 8/32s. Insurance says they only will cover the one tire but with a betterment fee included. The garage claims that because of the awd system I should replace all 4 tires. If I don’t I risk damage to transmission as the system may detect different tractions from the different tires. So now I am facing buying 4 new tires and only getting compensated partially for the one that was slashed. Has anyone heard of this? Am I being scammed by garage? I am thinking I could get away with replacing just 2 tires but am not sure if that would be safe to do. Either way I seem to be out a lot of money for being insured.
