    DIfferent tread on same axle?

    I am having problems finding a tyre. Is it a problem having slightly different treads on the tyres on the same axle? The car in question is a Valente. I am thinking that this will be ok as the space saver spare has a totally different tread pattern.

    Before I had a Land Rover I did not have any torque wrenches. Now I have three.

    I would only do it on the rear as a medium term solution, until it's time to replace all tyres.
    Only do it on the front if absolutely necessary, and change out at the first opportunity.

    I've had a bridgestone and a cooper on the rear for ages, same rolling radius so doesnt matter.

    the other 3 are falken, again , same rolling radius.

    wishing all 5 would wear out , but they don't seem to want to.

    I once rode in an old Toyota in Burma which had 5 different tyres on it, and lived to tell the tale, but it's not ideal.

    Different tread pattern,same construction and size is fine on the one axle but not recommended.
