Default tires

i looked around a bit and couldent find anything on this so here is my question, i curently am running 265/75/16 i believe all around my truck, my front passenger side is shot due to allignment, can i move my rear tires to the front and then run 285/75/16 on the rear? its a little bit taller tire and therefor cant go on the front due to clearance on my 2wd but it looks like it will fit on the rear? so anny help is very appriciated thanks

I don't know of any reason you couldn't cause your not 4wd right? So matching isn't an issue

You can change the driven gear, the one that drives the VSS to get a different ratio. Or you can add an external ratio adapter box.
