Hello,
I am looking into new tires and have been wondering about this....
What difference is there if any, between 4x4 vs 4x2 in terms of suspension or tire clearance spacing? The reason I am asking this is because if you go to america's tire.com and enter your vehicle specs., the tire size that they give you for availability differs for a 4x2 vs 4x4. The 4x2 gets sizing up to 275/65R/17 while the 4x4 gets tires up to 285/70R/17. Is there more room in the tire well for a 4x4 vs a 4x2? I always thought that the clearance was exactly the same for both 4x2 or 4x4. A second part to my question is would placing tires meant for the 4x4 on a 4x2 cause problems for the tires?
thanks for your help.
PS i have a xlt supercrew 4x2 5.4 2010
