Don't guess my '69 GMC 1 ton will ever have a full set of new tires at one time. Since I have 2 new tires on the back, should I run them on the inside or on the outside? I want your thoughts.
It only goes 2000-3000 miles a year.

2-3000 miles a year, not much difference anyway. I do the same on a one ton and they crack and rot before they wear out.

Kevin is right about the wear and placment of tires BUT.... If you must mix and match new and old tires on the same hub the new one should always be on the inside.

Kevin is right you just wear out new ones quicker, but your local tire shop will love you and sell you more new tires to ruin!!

Assuming you're using the same size tires (750-16's or whatever they are), if you run new tires (more diameter) with old tires (less diameter) on the same hub, all you're going to do is to wear our you new tires quicker since they'll see most of the load. If I had only two new tires, I'd put them on the front and run the two old fronts on one rear hub and the other two old ones on the other rear hub. If you're going to have a blowout, its better to have it on one of your rears than on the front. Always have your best tires on the front for safety.

I would put them on the inside, because the outside ones wear out faster.

never had much personla experience running duals, but I would think the inside, since the older ones are more apt to need repairing.
