[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1645438, member: 21289"] Guess I'm overthinking again. :hide: What's new It's getting near to time to put the M/T tires on for wood cutting and winter use. Two of my tires are at 45 to 50 percent tread.Two others are 90 plus. On a four wheel drive,do you find it's better to run the deeper tread on the back and have 2WD longer or put the good ones on the front and let them be where the most work is done if you need 4WD? My original thought was to put the deeper two on the back and let them wear down a little faster.Only reason for this was I'm not wanting to buy any more of that size for the truck.They're LT235/85-16.I'd like to switch to LT265/75-16 for a little wider look and a little more flotation. My "summer treads" have been Lt285/75-16.I like the way they ride over the ground and the way they look. Also,do you feel like the 265s will cause more suspension wear? I have been somewhat concerned about that with what I'm running. I feel like I'm asking beginner questions but I like to hear others' experiences. [/QUOTE]
