only the tread surface should be repaired. if its not within the tread everyone will tell you to get atleast 2 new tires (per axle). i drove quattros with 21" rims in the back and 19" in the front. nothin happend. dont think the treadwear will make anything to your awd.
Subaru says the tread difference between any two tires shouldn't be greater than 2/32". You can apparently wreck your drivetrain if you drive with different diamater tires for a long period of time. My owner's manual says tires should be the same everything (size, brand, tread wear, etc).
I swear to god only shitty thing about AWD vehicles lol.
