Do you have a ferret as well? I seem to see your name around alot.

Hi Dan,
I also see Richard Notton has answered your query echoing my thoughts about using odd / mismatched tyres on your Ferret. As he said, we do not want to appear as wet blankets, but trying to save you inevitable destruction of some part of the final drive. It is not that the vehicle is sensitive, it would actually perform alright on soft ground with mismatched tyres as they would be able to slip, the problems start when you hit the bitumen, this is when the wind up would kick in.
I do not own a Ferret, but have spent the last 32 years repairing and overhauling them and many other military vehicles for the British Army and laterly collectors and museums, so have a deep knowledge and understanding.
All the best,
Richard Farrant
