I think having unequal tyres across the back or across the front is not good. Equal fronts not equal to equal rears is ok though, if that makes sense.

As above , same axle needs the same circumference , so same wear . As the FL2 is not a fixed synchronised four wheel drive , the difference in tyre wear between the front and rear won’t damage anything . You will find that as in normal road use that the front wheels deliver most of the drive and have the weight of the engine , that they will wear faster . One other thing is to check the type of tyres that you have on . For example if the tyres are a chunky All Terrain /ATR tyre , they may still be very legal at 3-4 millimetres, but actually pretty useless as a performing tyre . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

For God's sake don't go round any corners or bends - you'll have one wheel turning a lot further than the other! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
