[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1645461, member: 26138"] Tire shops are adamant about better tires on the rear, the idea being that understeer (loss of traction in the front) results in going for a slide, oversteer (loss of traction on the rear) often results in over corrections, instability, and rollovers. Of course that means next to nothing if it's a farm truck. 265s will not make much of a difference. They're only an inch or so wider. Both are fairly common sizes and tire prices will be about the same either way. Better tires on the front IMO, the rear axle on an empty truck has far less weight and isn't all that useful off road anyway. [/QUOTE]
