tire size question

[16_w/_lic&truck]

hey everyone,

I got 32" tiers from a friend and i got 29" tires on right now. My friend is going to change the rims on 2 tires then in 2 days change the other 2 tires. Is it ok for me to have 32" tires in the back and 29" tires in the front if i dont engage the 4 wheel drive for a couple days?

you will be fine, pull the fuse for 4WD so if anyone uses your truck they dont engage it.

X2 i would just get them switched as soon as possiable.

Yes, it will be fine.

I had two 33x12.50x15" boggers on the back of my 92 with 225/75/16 street tires up front for about a week. Just don't engage the front axle.

Don't ask, I promise it was of necessity not for looks...

Was up north at a logging site doing some forestry work. 500mi from gas, let alone a spare set of tires. Managed to shred 2 tires on what was left of a broken track-hoe cleat in a bad creek crossing.

Had my buddy's 84 on 33x12.50x15 on boggers on 15x10 wagon wheels pull me out. My truck was benched for a few days until we were making a run to town as I only had one spare (and his spare was a 35x10.50)...

Creek rose as it was time to head back to town to get some tires for me, took a new line to get around the broken track hoe cleat, dropped the old 454 into the water, amazing she powered through without hydro locking...3mi later the TH400 was puking pink foam out the dipstick...50/50mix of ATF and water apparently isn't good for them.

We decided a TH400 to 700R4 trans swap was a little ambitious with just a socket set and no extra ATF on hand. So the boggers were bolted to the back of my truck, pulled the 4wd fuse and threw it in 2lo and powered through the day and a half of soggy logging roads.

Pulled so good in 2lo with the boggers we just left it like that going back up to change the trans fluid in the 84. :D

follow up question

I got all 4 32" tires on now but my spare is only 29". will i be able to even use my spare if i get a flat or will the 3" difference just cause problems in the differental?

Go buy a similar diameter (235/85/16 should be plentiful) bald tire that holds air from the nearest tire place for $10.

I wouldn't run a 3" difference on the same live axle.

I would be putting the spare on the front, and pulling the 4wd fuse again. Will be some wonky steering at speed.
