Default treadd...

i juss swapped the front tires with the back.....too much torque pretty much ate the back tires up. theres still a tiny bit of tread left on em so i put em in front and put more in the back

anyways was that smart?

the question is.....is it better to have more tread in the front or back. seeing as u steer with the front...

You don't want all tread in front cuze our trucks are fairly light in the back.
Based on what you have done to your truck,I would say to slap the new on the back tp prevent fishtailing and to gain traction where the power is at.
