The implication is because we did it "all the time" in the 60's and 70's, that it's not a problem on any modern vehicle, and that is incorrect.
I bet with any brand new 4X2 pickup adult driven, with Ps on the front, LTs on the rear will have no handling issues. Now we got to share the road with the guys that think need tires so big they won't fit under the body. They do affect handling.
Handling is not the problem. Mechanics is the problem.
On a 4x2 the main thing you have to worry about is your ABS. When your front tires are going at a different speed than your rears, will the ABS kick on at 5MPH, because it thinks one or the other is skidding? If the difference is small enough, maybe not, but taken to the extreme, you could very easily have trouble.
