blinking 4x4 and diff front tire.

Hello All..
Just a quick question for the group.
So yesterday I had to replace a front tire..
and today I tried my 4x4 and the 4x4 light is on and blinking..
Is this because the tire is different than the other side tire..
Sizes are the same..

Any thoughts?

Never heard of that. If the 4x4 light is on that means transfercase but can easily be a unplugged abs wire but then you would have other lights on. I would disconnect battery and hope it resets

it's very coincidental...ive heard about if the tires aren't exactly the same size cause tread depths..so in theory one is turning faster...
I dunno..just thought I would ask...once I take it out of 4x4 the light is gone..
