Hello everyone I just want to clear something up. This has nothing to do with a jeep unfortunately but my cousin bought a 2003 Chevy avalanche and it came with the two front tires, and the driver side rear tire are the same size (265) while his passenger rear tire is a 255 and he thinks driving like this is gonna destroy his differential. That's not true right? A

Im betting that it is an open differential, so no it wont kill it but i wouldnt drive it like that very long, probably wear out the bearings prematurely.

How does he think people with little donut tires for spare tires get around still when one small and one big. It is ok for short period of time, but not long imo.

I'd change it a little faster if he has the Eaton G80 rear end.
