Back tyres matching but not with the fronts?

So the freelander 2 I have purchased has matching fronts and backs. But the backs are offroad tyres and fronts are all weather. God knows why but not in a rush to change them as they all are new ish tyres. But if going to cause a problem will have to? I haven't checked but pretty sure the tyres are the same size but different treads. Will have to check in morning, but opinions much appreciated

I believe it's best practice to have all 4 matching. Least worn tyres on the rear iirc, that may be fl1 though

Nodge will pick this up I'm sure, then you'll be in good hands

Thanks alot. Just worried it might mess up the AWD. They are matching on the Axle but not front to back. God knows why someone thought it was a good idea

Best to have all the same but so long as they are the same on the individual axles you should be okay and as smithy says better ones on the rear with same depth of tread if possible.

The tyres need to be very close in diameter, or the AWD system can be overloaded. The system is designed to allow for worn tyres on one axle, and new tyres on the other axle, assuming the same tyres are used.

I'd be removing the odd tyres straight away, as a replacement PTU will cost the same to replace as 2 or 3 complete sets of tyres.

The tyres are the same size (numbers on the sidewall) just the front axle is all weather and the rear is winter (I think) .

Your best bet is to measure the circumference of the tyres. Just because the tyres are the same size, doesn’t mean they have the same rolling circumference.
The FL2 AWD comes into play every time the vehicle pulls away from rest, so if the tyres are different, the system is loaded up more than necessary, reducing its life.

Tyre sizes aren't exact and can differ from one to the next

Taken to garage now and the guys matched the back to the front best he can as he didn't have the same brand in stock but did measure tyres. So all sorted thanks for everyone's help
