Due to the full time 4wd, I'd never use different size tires intentionally.

I know you can get away with it if the CDL and Diff locks (if you have them) are UNLOCKED. The drive train is set up for some slippage for turns etc. but abusing it like that is asking for trouble. IMHO

Do NOT do it. Wait to do all 4 at once.

Don't do it unless you want to damage your drive train.

rolling circumference. in fact using the same size tire with different brands can cause major damage.
