Default Tires

On thursday night i had the pleasure of pulling a good size piece of metal out of the sidewall of my rear drivers side tire. My question is, do i need to have all 4 of the same kind of tires to be able to drive this thing or can i put 2 different on the front than the rear?

I have heard it both ways. I've heard if you just do both tires on the axle, you will be fine. But I've also heard that you have to do all 4. You can do different brands I would imagine, but you're going to want the same tread amount at all 4 corners.

ALL FOUR HAVE TO BE THE SAME SIZE. if you put different sizes on one axle it will mess up that axle's diff, and if you put different sizes front and rear it will mess up the center diff. so either way you have to make sure the tires outside diameter are all the same. you cant always go by the size cuz a goodyear 215/55R16 could be taller than a nitto 215/55R16. on www.tirerack.com they tell you the actual height of each tire so you know what you can and cant use. hope this helps
