Mixing tire brands on truck

[Valor]

Was wondering if it's okay to mix Goodyear AT2 tires with Michelin X especially on rear axles. All tires are 14X20. I couldn't find anything mentioned about this in TM 9-2320-272-10. It only mentioned tread patterns can be mixed. I'm changing out some dry rot tires. It had michelin xl tires and I have some Goodyear AT-2 tires that I'm putting on. Any ideas?

Yeah. It's fine.

The AT2's I've seen are much smaller in diameter than the XZL's. It might be okay to have a different brand on the front axle compared to the rears, but I wouldn't mix tires on the rear

I've done it. 3000 mile road trip. Not a big deal.

Probably makes a difference somewhere, but well to the right of the decimal point.

The michelin tires I have are just michelin X not XZL. I was wondering about the difference in circumference of the different tires too especially when put on the rear axles. I would think the differential gears would compensate for that when the tires are different diameter on a given axle but what about the driveshaft strain if one axle is spinning faster than the other say forward rear axle versus rear rear axle? Maybe I worry too much!
