Tires: 205's a bad idea?
So, the Jeep came stock with 215's. Currently has 225's on it. My brothers truck died and if he doesn't fix it said that he will give me his 205 A/T. Current tires on the Jeep have maybe 5,000 miles left on them.
Should I take up the offer? 205's be ok still? Will no be doing any mudding, and seems like the snow is over with.
Jeep is Full-Time 4x4.
I could maybe always take the front 215's off my truck, and put them in the back of the Jeep. So both my truck and jeep could have 215's in rear and 205's up front.
Both have the same brand tires.
Or should I just wait till I get the money, if I get the money, for new FS Destinations A/T?

The 205's will be fine, they are listed as one of the stock tire sizes in my owner's manual. (205 or 215 depending on application.) DON'T mix the tire sizes....so not good for the vehicle if it's 4x4.
