Let's say I have four equally worn tires at about 15k miles each. I go four-wheel drive off hard road for 5 to 7 miles. One tire needs to be replaced by the spare. The spare has very little wear so it is slightly bigger. I have to 4-wheel 5 to 7 miles back to a hard road. Which tire position should get the new tire (moving others as needed) to avoid damage to the transfer case during the ride back to the hard road where I can two-wheel? I'm guessing that if the return ride is on hard surface (rocks) then the transfer case could be at risk. But, if the return ride is on soft terrain, permitting tire slip, then the case is not so much at risk. I am also guessing that the un-worn tire should be on the front while in 2H.
Any insights appreciated. Thanks.
