Hola,
So in the daylight, looking at my passenger side tires which had survived driving over an aluminum ladder at 55MPH, I'm pretty sure I need to get two new ones. The ladder left a DEEP gash in both the front and rear passenger side tires.
With the '84 Grand wagoneer, which has selecttrac, can I just buy two new tires, put them on the same axel and put the two remaining (almost new!) tires on the other axel? Or will the select trac get assed up without alll four tires of equal tread wear?Going to merchant's tomorrow, plaese advise.

I'd put the new ones on the front and the your best old ones on the rear.The select-trac isn't that sensitive.You only run into problems when you run different sizes like any other vehicle.Did the ladder cut into the sidewall or the tread?
