Yes, but my question is will it hurt to have different kinds of tires.

Even though the size of the tires are the same, wouldn't it matter if you had snow tires on the front, and normal tires on the back? This thread is kinda old, but I went to another forum when I wasn't receiving any replies. The people said that it does matter, because the rolling diameter of snow tires is larger than the rolling diameter of normal tires, which would be true seeing as the snow tires obviously have a different design and a lot more tread.

I really don't mean to sound rude, I really don't, but a bunch of other people are telling me it does matter and you're saying it doesn't. And the last few times I've worked with "backyard mechanics", I've had to purchase a new vehicle. I'll go with my instincts on this - which is that it does matter.

Thanks for your help though.
