My wife had some OLD tires mounted up quickly to get an old truck she purchased home. They mounted radials on the back, and biased on the front. Sames sizes (basically)...
Commments?
I can't remember the rule on mixing. I think she should be OK, but she has a 75 mile drive to do tonight...just wanted to run this past....
Quick comments VERY appreiated!

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
