Aggressive off road tires on rear only, 2WD 3500 SRW

[amauri]

I'll be using my truck to haul supplies (pulling a 10k lbs trailer) up dirt roads and need a bit more traction.
I have two extra 18" OEM wheels and am thinking of mounting a pair of off-road tires similar to the Cooper STT Pro on the rear only.
Would appreciate any insight on possible handling issues with miss matched tires on a 2WD truck, I have Michelins on the front.

I'm not planning on doing a lot of highway mileage on them, just bolting them on when I need too.

Thanks

You will be fine

I used to always run different tires on the rear of my 2wd trucks, never had any problems.

It will be fine. The bigger life lesson here is never buy a 2wd truck.

Full send, just know that if the off-road travel is slippery the front won’t have as good of braking and steering may be an issue. Otherwise, no issues.

2wd, but why??

I've owned lots of pickup trucks since my first in 83, both 4WD and 2WD.
I prefer 2WD for what I do, I believe it is the better option 99.9% of the time. But that's just me.
