Hello ,
I had my 2 rear tires damaged by road debris. They where fairly new . I am unable to find the exact match to the fronts. Would it be ok to use different manufacture's tire as long as it is the same size. Or would this cause damage to the AWD system .

Thanks

You have Haldex, so you should be fine with the same size, but I would also go with the same tire company as the fronts.

Also depends on the tread wear left on the front. The larger tires should always be on the rear, which is going to be a problem later with rotation as the front tires wear faster than the rear.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
