Tire Question

I got a 96 F350 dually 2wd. I remember alot of old 2wd duallies back in the 80's - 90's running highway tires on the inner rear wheels and a combo tire on the outer rear wheel. They had a mild or highway tread down the center of the tire, but more aggressive cleats/lugs on the edge of the tire/sidewall. I assume this was for trailers on the road, but a little extra help getting the 2wd trucks out of the field. Does anyone still make this style of tire, and what is it called? Having trouble searching for one,
Thanks

It's called an open shoulder drive tire. They're only available in commercial sizes.

Look at the BFGoodrich commercial TA traction tire. Or any other all-terrain/mud terrain. All 4 rear tires should match, otherwise they won't wear correctly.
