[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 452636, member: 24042"] Again, it depends on how different the treads are. As for grip, do you have any idea how many performance cars have different tread patterns on the front and rear? Lots. Not OEM, but for track days. And I guarantee none of us push our Jeeps through corners with the aggression most of us show on track days. As for size, anything up to 3% is fine. The OP said the tires are the same make, model, and size, but with an updated tread pattern. I really really doubt that Goodyear made a significant difference in size when they changed the tread, but it's pretty easy to measure. I'm not saying it's the best option in the world. But it's also not going to kill you in normal day to day driving. If the OP is trying to replace 3 and use the spare as #4, I suspect there might be budgetary issues. It happens. There are certainly worse things they could do. [/QUOTE]
