All,
I have recently had a big blow-out on my 80 series and naturally have to get new tyres. I was running 285/75/16 mud tyres (Maxxis Bighorns) @ 70-80% tread remaining and the spare was a new road tyre which i inherited from the previous owner.
I have bought two new tyres of the same make, model and size to replace the spare with the one of the 3 remaining older tyres.
As I know this is not ideal have new and old tyres on the car, figured given they are the same tyres, I shouldn't incur any driveline damage (forgive my ignorance if this is incorrect).
Where I have come to a stand still is deciding to put the new tyres on the front or the back. I would be inclined to put them on the front, but given I do predominately more driving on sand than through mud and didn't want to shell out for a whole new set of ATs I was thinking keeping the new tyres on the back so the muddies don't dig into the sand as much.
Thoughts?
