Emergency Tire Size Help

[hearingyourlies]

If I put 265/70-17 tires on the front of my truck and 305/70-17 tires on the rear of my truck, can I drive it?



It's 4 wheel drive.



As long as I don't put it into 4 wheel high or low I should be ok, right??!

You're fine. Just keep them the same size left to right sides and keep it out of 4WD.

Why is left to right no good?

It looks like I've actually got a 245 and 265 for the front and the two 305's on the back.

I only need to go about 3 miles ... .

hearingyour - - You won't have any trouble, put the 245 and the 265 on the front and the 305's on the rear, don't play race car and you'll be OK may set a code for the ABS, but it will clear up after three starts after you get the same size all round again.

if you don't have a locker or limited slip differential, you can mix & match what you like for a quick fix to get you going again. if you have a limited/locker in the rear, you need to match left/right sizes so you don't bind the differential up. up front you are open diff [unless modified] so a mix matched set won't do any damage in a short run

[i cooked the clutches in a gm/eaton G80 by having a mix matched set in the rear 265/75/16 one side and 245/75/16 other side and had to drive on pavement for a ±50 miles - you could feel it pulling bad. . ]
