I had a flat and could only get a tire for the moment that is 265 70R17 however the other 3 are 265 70R16 my truck is 4 wheel drive. Will driving it until I can replace the tire (which is the front passenger tire) tear up my truck? I was told it would because it is a 4*4. Also I was told tht getting bigger tires would get me better gas mileage?? I'll be replacing the tire tomorrow! Thank you so very much!!
