I have just noticed that the front tyres are 225,65,16 and the rear are 255,65,16

now...if i understand this correctly the 225/255 is the width the 65 is height and the 16 is rim size.....yet theres a height difference of 2 inches between the front and back tyre

am i missing something?
this is wrong isnt it?

65 is a % of width so there will be a difference in overall diameter,best to run 4 of the same size

center diff will have worked harder ,but its built to be equal 4 wheel drive with the same 4 tyres,so you might find in extreme circumstances it doesnt handle as it should

No, because the diff isn't locked
