I have one good drive tire and one that's going to let me down soon. I have a usable drive that has a similar amount of tread as the good tire that's on the combine. Is there anything wrong with my plan to temporarily run drives with similar tread left of different brands? Thanks.

If the tire height isn't pretty close to the same, cutting beans won't be as good. If the left tire is a little taller, air pressure adjustments could help level it up.

Thank you Doc. Hopefully just run corn this way and have 10 more months to find a good used pair.
