Had to change two front tyres which were damaged. The new tyres have 14mm of tread the rears have 8mm of tread will this
size difference lead to transmission wind up?

Not on the road as the centre diff will deal with that. May be more likely the diff is locked but if that proves to be an issue put both new tyres on one side and let the axle diffs sort it out.

Thank you for the answer I was not shure the diffs would cope but I am happy it will.
