Why not just put snow tires on the outside and leave the regulars on the inside?
that makes sense to me but ask the provincial govt. a dually with snow tires on only the outside certainly would have better traction than a non-dually or dually with singles on the rear.

Yes, 4WD (2 axles) or 6WD (3 axles) requires that all tires be the same size and same tread pattern.
Since I run M&S rated traction tires year 'round, I don't have any problem.
I'm not going to attempt to explain the leverage problems with the bearings when running a single tire where duals should be, but, yes, it CAN cause bearing failure! NOTE: That is not "WILL", that is "CAN". There IS a difference. You might get away with it with no problems. Just be aware that there could be a problem in the future.
