5s it bad to drive with diffrent size tires with 4 wheeled drive?

With a 4X4 all wheels are trying to turn the same speed. If a tire has a larger diameter then it will want to cover more ground than the smaller tires. This puts a heavy strain on the drive line. In addition, your stability will be reduced on slippery pavement since one or more of the tires will want to spin because they are being either pushed or pulled down the road.

Simple rule, keep all four tires the same on a 4X4.

good luck

this is true on any vehicle.

Yes it will, your gear ratio's in the front and rear end are the same, if you try to put larger tires on the back it will try to push the front end along the road if your front diff is engaged and will bind the gears and do a lot of damage to the diffs.

uh, yeah

the wheels would turn with a different speed, which would make the slower wheels have no effect except for slowing down that side.

in other words, you're screwed.

however, if you had a two wheel drive for the example that was given, then it should be fine.
