I have a jeep gc laredo. 4wd all time. Woke up with a bubble in tire I was wondering if I can run 4 31in tires but they won't all be matching name brands. Ill have 3 good years and one uniroyal can I do this or save up and buy 4 tires. The tred is still good on the 3 good years. Thank you for your help.

Not all 31s are created equal.

really dont think there should be any problem, just make sure they are the same speed rating if passanger tire, or same load rating if a truck tire.

With four wheel drive tread pattern is EVERYTHING, especially for all time. I ran a tire shop for many years for someone who has done this for about 40 so people may disagree, but i have seen enough ruined trucks to know what happens.

That said you can run tires that aren't all four matching, BUT the two front must match each other, and the two rear must match each other. For example you can have two goodyear's on the front that match, and two uniroyals on the rear that match, but nothing beyond that. You cannot run three tires of the same and one that it an oddman out.

Well you CAN, but i would suggest you keep it under 60mph and not for more then ~250 miles.

Worked at a tire shop for years and as long as all tires are same size and similar tread depth you are good. I ran 4 different 31s for 2 years. All brand new spares I bought at the JY. 2 years over 40000mi no issue. Your fine.
