Tim, which old bias ply, the front or the rear? Just teasing you! Personally, I don't think getting the car home with two different size rear tires is gonna eat up the spider gears. Old timers made winches out of a diff with one axle locked up and power running thru the spider gears, ran them for years. Lets assume there is oil in the diff, and home is not 500 miles away!
