I guess we will agree to disagree.


I do think that it is a bad idea to have mis-matched sized on a 4 wheel drive, but if all 3 differentials are open, I can't see it doing any damage

Here are photos of the gears welding to the cross shaft, probably caused by spinning the front and rear at different rates:

Probably more of an issue off road, but I certainly wouldn't want to drive for extended distances with mismatched tire sizes.
