Re: Dunlop Rover ATs on Cherokee?
 

I personally would not mix two different sizes on the same vehicle. Mixing
brands is ok as long as the tread design and tire design is similar, and as
long as each axel has matching right and left tires.

Mixing sizes on the same vehicle can negatively affect the vehicles
handling, especially in emergency avoidance maneuvers.
