M1000 HET Semi-trailer: OK to Mix Different Tire Treads

BLUF: Tires with different tread patterns can be used on the M1000 HET semi-trailer as long as they’re the same size.
  Dear Half-Mast,
 
Our shop has two types of tires for the M1000 HET semi-trailer. Both came with NSN 2530-01-506-5762. They’re the same size but have different tread patterns.
Can these tires be used together on the same trailer?

D.G.
Dear Sir,
 
Yes! According to TM 9-2610-200-14 (Sep 05), Operators, Unit, Direct Support and General Support Maintenance For Care, Maintenance Repair and Inspection Of Pneumatic Tires Inner Tubes, tires with different treads can be mixed as long as they’re the same size.
 
Same size tires? It’s OK to mix different tread patterns

It’s important to note that the TM also states that bias and radial tires should not be mixed.
