Can I drive with one tire bigger than the other?
Unless there is major difference between the larger one and rest others, it won’t harm your car. A slight difference in tire’s size doesn’t matter in terms of alignment and handling.
What’s the difference between front and rear wheel drive tyres?
Given the above specifications, it means there are three ways in which a tyre’s size can differ. Many vehicles, but primarily rear-wheel-drive sports cars, have a narrower width tyre at the front than the back.
Can a four wheel drive have a different tire size?
It should go without saying, but all wheel drive and four wheel drives vehicles should have the same tire size on all four wheels. Having different sizes on some four wheel and all wheel drive vehicles can actually do damage to the vehicle. Even then, the two tire sizes are nearly identical in diameter.
Are there different tire sizes on one side of the car?
I.e.: same size of tires on front and back of one side of car, and a smaller set installed on the other side of car. Its already pulling and needs alignment.
Are there different tread depths for front and rear tires?
The front 2 tires treads measure 12/32, one rear is 6/32 and the other is 10/32. The dealership told me I should replace the rear 2 tires because the big difference in tread depth will cause the tires to spin differently and could damage my 4 wheel drive system. Is this really a concern or are they just trying to sell me new tires?

Can you put rear wheel drive tires on front axle?
There can be exceptions, however. Some car manufacturers will recommend fitting the new tires to the front axle, for example, if the car is a front-wheel drive. Consult your vehicle manufacturer’s handbook or a tire specialist for further information. Some vehicles are factory-fitted with tires of different sizes between the rear and front axles.
