    Thats what I am going to do eventually

    I just don't have the money to get two sets of tires when my stocks are worn.

    The 17" are alloys and I want them on for looks (daily driving). So I would put A/T treads on those and keep the 16" steelies back home until i can afford a set of off road tires for them.

    Then hopefully by the time the A/Ts wear off on the 17", I will afford to put street treads on them then off roads on the 16" steelies.

    Does that make sense?

    yes makes plenty of sense...but earlier you posted that youd be using the 16 on road and 17 off...

    I was also thinking that I would be able to put smaller tires on the 16s to save gas mileage, then I realized how puny and [​IMG] it would look

    it all depends on your definition of street tire, theres plenty of guys that ride m/t and such that never use them off the road
