Re: new tire

Much better! the width won't be an issue, only the height. The only time width could be a problem is if you hit some ice or a water puddle at speed. The different widths could make the truck pull to one side, so watch for that, but it's nothing big.

Re: new tire

As mentioned, width doesn't really matter. If you ran different height tires it could have an impact on your carrier.

More than likely it would just wear one tire quicker that the other.
