Ok, now i know its dumb to put 31's on the front and 33's on the rear or something like that. But what i have is Brand new 33's on the rear and used 33's on the front. The front ones have 12/32's of tread, the rears havd 20/32's Is that enough to hurt my truck if i put it in 4wd?

Uh,............no. You're kidding, right??? At first I thought you meant "diff"-sized tires-------nevermind. :D

Uhhh... No? If you figure new they're 32" tall, and you're 8/32 shorter, that's 32" rears and 31.75" fronts... 3/4 of a percent difference in diameter.

Would you hurt your truck running 5.29 rear and 5.32 fronts? Nope. That's the same difference.

Tho I guess you could switch your front out and run 4.09's front and 4.11's rear, and you'd be back to perfect.

:flipoff2:

Yea, im gonna go get me a set of custom made gears and stuff! Ha. Ok, so what your saying is when im in 4, it will be ok.
And i know what Mark was gonna say, i have seen people try to put 2 diff sized tires on a 4wd. And its hard to get them to understand. Some people are just DUMB!

no....mark was trying to say that he thought you were going to ask about diff (differential) sized tires. you know...the eight inch ones.

That's right! "Diff" means "differential" and "different" means "different". If you're gonna run ATV tires on your junk, you definitely qualify as "different". :flipoff2:

I hope you realize 33x12.5 mud terrain type tires are nasty on the road in snow or ice.

You won't notice it much when wheeling, but the wear's a little excessive if your in 4wd driving in icy conditions. You can adjust your air pressure to make up for some of it.
