Can get a good deal on 33s but it's two or one brand two of another. All at 50%. Would it be fine to run like that? Or what about 3 of one brand one of another? Thanks in advance

in a 4x4 vehical its best to run all the same tire. even if they are close to the same tread pattern and even though they say there, 33s every tire is slightly different and some dont measure up to full 33" also they might wear differently becuase 2 might have softer or harder rubber then the others, if you do get them and 2 are one brand and 2 are another, run the same brand upfront, and then the other patching pair in the back.

As long as you run the matching ones on the same axle, and they're all the same size you shouldn't have any issues.

If you do end up with the 3 and 1 isue run the odd one in the back missmatched hardness up front will make it pull like crazy. Ask me how I know lol

Yeah I got a great deal on 4 31" tires and rims for $50 and there was 2 of one kind and the other 2 were mismatched. I put the 2 matching ones in the back because they have the better tread and match. The 2 mismatches are on the front. Now it feels like I need an alignment but I'm pretty sure its just the mismatched tires. They pull to the right but not bad enough for me to worry about.
