Ok, that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification!

I have A/T tires and they are over kill. I have 3 brand new highway tires, will start by putting 2 up front. Then run the A/T tires on the back.
I have AWD, so having different tires isn't an option if I value the mechanical aspects of the AWD system. My particular tires, are pretty far from over kill. I pick aggressive Light truck tires or mild A/T tires because I like even wear given the amount of hwy/road time they see. My tires look like slicks compared to the rubber on my brothers truck hahaha
