    I got a 96 Pete with 4.10 gears in it. Currently I'm runin 11R22.5 but im thinkin of changing over to 11R24.5 A friend of mine has the same truck with 3.90 gears in it and he runs 11R24.5 so I would think I should be able to as well.

    then i would probably leave the rears alone and switch to 11r24.5's should be a nice combo for that kind of work.

    yeah I think so too. My log truck has 11R24.5 on it and it has smaller rears on it. Thanks for the input.
