I have a 2000 F150, 2WD work truck. I was thinking of putting mud/snow tires on the rear and passenger type tires on the front. I this a good idea or should I stick with all the same all around.
Thanks for any input.

 

You should be fine as long as they are close to the same size. I have mud grips on the back of my work truck and all terrains on the front. I haven't had any problems for over a year.

 

Backwoods types do this all the time. I get the call from time to time at work. You might want to consider putting an all terrain up front and a mud in the rear. Lots of guys do it down south that drive on farm land or dirt roads for the extra traction. You can even run a larger size in the rear if you want, but you wont be able to rotate anyway you go.

 

OK, I have to ask. Why would you want to do this?

 

 

Wait a minute, us Cajun's invented doing that stuff year's ago. Mud grip's on the back and regular tires on the front. The uppity ones even had mud grips on the front too! This was on 4x2's that needed to get out of their front yard's when it rained a lot.

 

its no problem so long as the differnt tires are front/back not left/right. this one guy round here runs a/ts on the front and swampers on the back of his 350SD 4x2. bout as good traction as a 4x2 will ever get

 

I bought it last fall, it had RT/S in front and AT/S on the back. I don't do any real aggressive driving so I'll go with all season all the way around.
Thanks for your reply.

 

The Goodyear AT/S is a good tire but just about anything you buy will be an improvement over the RT/S.
