Quick question

I have an 05 duramax with hankook 285/75R/16's. I recently blew a tire and went out and bought a new one. Now the other three are pretty worn down so there is a bit of a height difference with the new tire because of all the tread. I put the new one on the front and will be keeping it in 2WD for now. I was just wondering if the difference in size because of the tread will cause issues?

Thanks.

Honestly if you had a awd car that could cause you trouble. But with your truck you can put the tire wherever you want and you'll be good!
