Rear Tires - do they have to match exactly?

Hello, newbie question here.

I have 43 VAI. Rear tires are toast. Found some suitable used replacements. But one has noticeably more tread left than the other, such that I would guess the overall outside diameters would be different.

Does that matter? Would the differential not care or could it cause any problems?

Thanks

There is a set of gears in the punkin called a differential. Other than the differential thinking it is going around a gentle curve all the time, there should be minimal wear on the powertrain. If I were doing heavy farming with it, I would be concerned as the smaller diameter wheel will spin out easier than the larger one, but as a hobby I wouldn't worry. A little more ballast on the smaller wheel would probably balance things out.

I would think it would be alright unless you are going to run it on pavement quite abit.

I don't think it matters much - my Farmall Cub has one tire a few inches shorter than the other (because of spinning from it being offset), but it doesn't seem to hurt it - the steering does pull a little to the right, though.
