Nail in tire, replaced. Stuck in 4wd
I got a nail in my front left tire a few weeks ago and it was of course not repairable. So I got a brand new tire. Old tire had 10,000 miles on it as do the other 3 still on the car.
Fast forward a week and I go to throw my car in 4wd and it starts pulling to the left (the new tire is on the front left) and won’t come out of 4wd. I had to pull into a gravel pit and do figure 8's and it finally disengaged.
Is this problem from the tires being slightly uneven or is it a problem with my 4wd.

Place the new tire on the drive side of the rear axle and run the evenly worn tires up front. I used a new spare once on the front with some very worn tires and mine did the same thing. I placed the new spare on the rear and the 4wd engaged normally after that.
