It might. If you have the rear LSD, different size tires on the same axle can burn up the clutches. And you might have binding in 4WD, although you wouldn't be using 4WD on dry pavement anyway.

You can put it on front and stay in 2WD safely...which is a bit of a pain if one of the rears blows, but is do-able.
