Got 2 almost brand new 238-85-16 goodyear wrangler silent armor, them and two more tires i got here are going on the back of the dually:sly get my rpm down and give me a little more traction than my worn out 215-85-16's

One question, is it ok to run 235-85-16 in back and 215-85-16 up front?

It should be fine to run those front and back, I assume its 2wd? Last year i found a brand new firestone transforce AT laying on the side of the road, and my exact size!

Yep its 2wd, im trying to get slightly bigger and more agressive tires on back that will help me out a little better, when i get enough i plan on running 235-85-16 all the way around

With locking hubs, there is no harm in running mis-matched sizes even on a 4x4, so long as the hubs are only ever locked in when in an off-road situation and only shifted into 4x4 when absolutely necessary.

Cruising along on the blacktop, with hubs un-locked and shifter in 2WD, no harm can come from front tire size differing from rear tire size. ;Sweet

If it's 2wd, then I don't see a problem with running a bigger tire on the back.

Heck, I don't recall ever running the same size front and rear tires on any 2wd vehicle of mine - rears were always wider or taller or both. The only exception is my dually, cause I got 235/85-16s in the rear and the wider 265/75-16s in the front, for the extra 400 lbs more load capacity per front tire.
