tire placement question

[Sledheadxp800r]

say when you are pulling and 2 tires are worn more than the other two. for ex 2@12/32 and 2@8/32. where would you run them? more tread depth in the front or the rear?

the truck has traction bars and rear suspension stops. front end cranked all the way down and not allowed to hang weight.

tires will be 35x12.50 kumho m/t's and they have more tread than stated above those were just examples as I'm not sure what the actual tread depth is on them

thanks guys

i run the slicker tire in the rear.

that's what I was thinking. get a little more grip in the front. but I'm no pulling expert

 

[madmatt]

kinda along the same as guys running bfg at's in the rear and STS's in the front

Yep, I'd say ones with more tread up front.

that's what I'm doing with mine also

i would think maybe more tread in the rear? if you dont have a locker once that other wheel unlocks in the front the tire is useless

its got an open front and a Yukon locker in the rear

I've got a locker in the front now but I see what you're saying. I just figured that the rear will get traction no matter what with the weight of the sled pulling it down. Just trying to give the front a fighting chance:thumb:

yep I'm thinking about an e locker in the front soon.


this will be the first time I pull since I did a built trans with lockup controller, efilive, ats manifolds and up pipes, rear suspension stops, and Yukon locker in rear.
I hope it rips pretty good now. I did ok with a smoked stock trans and a PPE before so I would think it will be a night and day difference
