i bought a 5600 ford in fall of '78. dealer had used it that year hisself and put 270 hrs on it. got a good discount and bought it. all tires were different. rear tread was close but different/ front was the same way. asked him why and he said "well, after i ran it a couple days ran over a steel fence post and ruined the rear tire and that was as close a match as i could get. about a week later i hit a bottle and cut the front tire on the side. same as rear., that was as close as i could get". 21 years later when i traded it off it still had the tires and there was no problem. as long as they are the same size there should be no trouble. would not want to run a radial/bias set, that would cause a problem i would think.
