Is it ok to have 3 tires the same ratio and 1 different on a car?

By ratio if you mean size, the answer is no unless the car comes from the factory with a different size rear tires than front tires like some sports cars. In that case you would have 2 tires the same size on the front and 2 tires another size on the rear. You should never ever run 2 different size tires on the same axle. Therefore you would never have a situation where you would have 3 tires one size and then 1 tire another size.


What is the primary purpose of dual rear tires?

The main purpose for Dual rear tires is for 2 basic reasons. 1. When towing a heavy load, it lessens the chance of over stressing the rear tires (In extreme cases, the blowout of the rear tires) 2. It provides more traction in all situations (by having more rubber on the road, the torque put out by the engine is displaced in more surface area than single rear tires) I'm sure a true expert can put it into better words, but there's a basic answer.

Where do you install a pair of new tires on a rear wheel drive car?

You should always install 2 new tires on the rear of the vehicle, regardless of where the drive wheels are. The reason for this is that it is much easier to control understeer (the front wheels sliding out) than oversteer (the rear wheels sliding out). This is why if you are unable to replace all 4 tires at the same time, you always want your newer tires on the rear.

1976 CJ-7 manuel. When you put the hubs in 4X2 the rear tires will not move. When you put the hubs in 4X4 the front tires pull the Jeep. Any ideas?

There are 2 possibilities... the rear axle shafts may be either broken or splines may be stripped off (common for model 20 axles) or the shifter linkage for the rear output shaft on the transfer case may be broken. Try lifting the rear tires off the ground with the vehicle in neutral and turn the tires by hand... if the driveshaft turns check the linkage, if it doesnt replace the axle shafts!

What causes minivan to shake in rear at 65 mph It started after we had front and rear breaks checked and 4 new tires put on. I'm told we have 2 slightly bent wheels. Could this cause it?

Did it shake before you had the tires put on? It sounds like your tires are out of balance. I had new tires put on and had to go back next day because of shaking at 60 mph. Come to find out the tire balancing was off.
