Would it be awkward to put a mud terrain tire on a 2wd truck?

***hmathews*** · 07-17-2009, 04:03 PM

I like the look of MTs but I don’t have a 4x4. I don’t really off road so I went with a 2wd. But I like the look of a MT. Would it look weird to have MT tires on a 2WD truck? I just need some opinions please.. Also are there 2wd owners in the forum who are running MTs on their trucks? Thanks.

i did this to show my roll pan. but you get the idea. 35x12.50r17's on h2 wheels. and YES the tires match now.

MT's on a 2WD would look fine, just as long as your not puttin a 5" Lift With 37's or anything

May look stupid to you. However works great. I used to run M&S tires on the back of an old Ford Ranchero. That thing would go everywhere. The street tire in front has the floatation for steering and the M&S in the rear puts the power to the ground in the dirt. Ever notice the tires on a sandrail?

Heck I've seen plenty of trucks with 12''+ lifts 42''+ tires that are now 2wd because the owner disconnected the front drive shaft so he could lift it that high.

2wd trucks with Mts look good. My cousin has a black f-150 with a 6'' on 37'' and it looks good. Has a detroit locker in the rear and can go everywhere he needs offroad.
