I need your help! I can not afford 4 new tires, plus I have 2 that are 90% right now. My problem is when you ask anyone at a tire shop you get the standard line - nope, can't do 2 on a 4 wheel drive. If I get 2 new tires with simalar tread patterns will there be issues? I know there "can" be - but what are the real world experiences? Last thing is where would you put them - front or rear? Thanks in advance!
Tires!?!?!

Put 2 new tires on the front(they will wear faster up front)....Just tell the tire guy if you don't want my money the other tire guy will take it.
Just get as close as possible size match..tread design not as important as size.
Just to be safe do not run your truck in 4 wheel drive on dry pavement ....

Agreed with what has been said. Buy two new tires and put them on front and call it a day

Most tire manufacturers, car manufactures and tire installers will recommend that you put new tires on the rear axle, not the front.

He wants them to wear faster....so they match his 90% tread tires though. I would put the new tires up front then rotate them when they wear to equal the 90% pair.

Just put the new tires on the rear axle and smoke the shit out of them until you think they are down to 90%.. waste of 25bucks but it would be worth it!
Tire monkeys. 95% of them are idiots. new tires up front as the steering tires are the important ones. This is the same reason that big rigs can't run a re-tread up front.
