Can I mix 2 different set/brand of mud tyre

Currently runnning on 4 BFG M/T (32x11.5R15). However, 2 of them at the back are badly worn (with tread depth about 2mm only). But both 2 at the front are still good (with tread depth about 8mm).

Is it alright to just get 2 new Goodyear M/T for the back as long as they are same size as BFG one ?

Does it affect the handling on off-road situation ?

there is no problem in running 2 new & 2 old as long as you keep the old & new on the front or rear dont mix old & new on the same axil it is always prefrable to maintain the same brand & tread pattern that way you don t need to carry 2 spares if you do only buy 2 new tyres put the new ones on the front & the second hand on the rear the reason you dont mix new & old is the differance in diamiter between worn tyre & new tyre this puts strain on the running gear same with running diferant tread paterns
Hope this answers your question

thanks for your prompt reply !

But would it be better if I put the new one at the back to get better grip and LSD work better in offroad ?
