My jeep will not release from 4 wheel drive unless I "Spin" my tires in reverse. Failing to spin the tires in reverese results in terrible handling and the vehicle pulling hard to the right. No one has been able to diagnose a problem.

I do have 225 70R16 on the rear and 222 75R16 on the front. I've been told that could be the problem.

Can the tires cause this or is there something else I should be looking at?

what ? your driving the jeep with different size tire front/rear ??? wow...you better get that straightened out quickly...i say dont even drive the jeep again before you get that fix. If nothing is broken yet your a lucky guy.

Your different tire sizes would be fine if you were 2 wheel drive only. Being 4 wheel drive that can cause damage to your transfer case as the rear end will spin faster than the front end cause the tires on the rear are smaller then the front.

Even different wear patterns on the front and rear can cause unnesesary strain on the transfer case if you are on dry pavement in 4 wheel! Get a complete set the same or don't use 4WD.
