Hi Shadow, You are really going to want to have all four tires the same size. Our trucks don't exactly have sport tuned suspension and they tend to be hard on tires. Keep in mind, you will only be able to rotate your tires side to side and not front to back. If you get a directional tire, you won't be able to rotate them at all. I speak from experience. My BMW ate tires and it was perfectly tuned and it starts to get expensive especially with the monsters trucks tend to be riding on. Pick you the largest street looking tire you can find that you like in the same size. I just don't think the different sizes are worth the hassle. JMO

well thanks for the info, its my toy i drive it during the summers only, and not even that often, in time i want it to be a cruiser only, my dd is a 78 bronco so its not like my truck will be getting much time on the road enough to start wearing weird, and i will be installing the rear lowering shackles and brackets and the drop beams also i plan on them going on this winter
