Will different size tires in front and back make truck drive really loose?
What is your question?
My truck feels like it’s driving on ice. It just feels really loose. I checked the hubs are good in back, I’ll check front. I’ve got different tires on it. 9.50/R16.5LT in front and LT265/75R16 in back. Would that be it? Only had truck since yesterday, so I really dont know what’s going on with it. The abs are on too. Tires turn freely off of ground but not very easily. It also kind of feels like it’s got the breaks on in back when driving it. Checked emergency brake on inside and it’s off. Also would I be able to get same size tires on those rims?Or a 8.75/R16.5LT rims. Also the truck is a 1988 F250 4x4 5.9 v8 with rear abs only,I believe so anyways. I really like the truck and I really need it. It’s my only vehicle,and it’s a pandemic. The trucks kind of start to drive right now. And I need it to work. I’m trying to work on it right now so please steer me in which way to go. Thanks
What makes this problem better or worse?
4x4 feels like it’s dragging the back along
How long has your 1990 Ford F-250 had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1990 Ford F-250. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Install the correct size tires and wheels on all 4 wheels. That is causing most all of your concerns.
The tire placard is on the driver's door or door jamb. The proper size is listed. You cannot mix sizes. You must have one size on all 4 wheels that matches the placard.
You may or may not have additional problems, but you must fix what you know to be wrong first. Two completely different tire sizes -- and wheel sizes -- cause multiple major problems that must be addressed.
