...Shoulda known better... I THOUGHT I was buying 4 Toyo Open Country AT's 325 60 20's on ebay. They were as expected, maybe 50% tread left, no plugs, etc, but one was a Nitto Terra Grappler with a little better tread left maybe 70-80%. My question is, if I can live with the look of a mismatched tire on the rig, would it cause any excessive wear to run it this way? The tires are the same size, but the nitto has perhaps 1/8 inch more height (at most) when I put them side by side and measure. I wonder about alignment, etc and wonder if there would be other strain on the differential etc if it were on the back? They have the same load rating and nearly the same tread pattern. I might have some luck with the ebay seller, gonna get back to him on this paid 400 for these with shipping included.Thanks!

 

You should be ok. The average joe will not notice the odd tire, since the tread patterns are nearly identical. I would not worry about the slight difference in tread depth, but if it worries you, put the oddball in front.
