[QUOTE="Earthwerks Unlimited, post: 23279, member: 1300"] Putting two different size tires on one side is a recipe for disaster---assuming they have a different loaded radius. And adding tire chains on the rears only--what's that about? Adding chains REALLY changes the loaded radius (loaded radius is measured from the center of the wheel hub to the ground). Wheels on one side MUST turn at the same speed with the tires of the same loaded radius. Otherwise you cause unnecessary drive chain bind up and the tires will fight each other resulting in premature wear and stress to the tire and possibly poor or erratic control. [/QUOTE]
