Different size tires on 4X4

[sluis4152]

I have a 1996 explorer sport. I have 32 inch tires on the rear. I have 30's on the front. I was told that if I put it in 4X4 I would tare up my transfercase. Is that true?

yes

yes. do you have the auto transfer case? if so you may have already begun to cause damage. tires must be same size, same tread, similar tread depths.

 

[inkjunkie]

yep

Yes, figured one more wouldn't hurt.
