I drive trucks for a living and I can tell you when you phone for a puncture to be repaired the tyre company will want the size, make and model number of the tyre for them to match as close as possible to what is fitted to the vehicle already.
I can tell you for definite that if you are driving a vehicle with 4 wheels fitted to the drive axle that what ever side gets a puncture that it is advisable to change both tyres on that side as a difference in varying tread will put excess weight on the other tyres thus the possibility of causing excess damage to the other tyres fitted to the same axle.
I have experienced a case of only 1 tyre being changed thus causing another to blow out.

After a few months or so and in wet weather... Yes. As not all tyres from different manufacturers wear and tear in the same way. So gradually the tyres on the same axle may have different tread depths, meaning uneven handling in wet weather.

I owned in basic terms one p.c..-up truck, and it became a small ward off Ram. (The D-50 sort.) Passenger motor vehicle tires are no longer rated for the plenty a p.c..-up is able to wearing, and characteristic better sidewalls for use on tough terrain. After conversing with some acquaintances (One owns a Ford F-250, the different a Chevy Silverado.) they suggested they'd use passenger tires provided that the truck became in no way used as a artwork truck or taken off highway. (yet the two admitted that they had in no way tried it.) I used standard tires on my D-50, however the truck became in no way used as a truck. The occasional piece of furnishings each now and then for a chum, yet in no way an entire load. (Which became no longer very plenty besides on the ward off.) And the closest I got here to off-highway became the gravel motor vehicle parking zone on the capturing variety. i'd say that in case you recognize you will no longer "load it up", tow something, or rigidity on tough roads that the passenger tires could artwork positive. i'd look for suggestion from with the tire keep supervisor as to what the guaranty on the tires would be in case you used them on the truck. If the guaranty is void, it might actually be an enhanced guess to adhere with the truck tires.

could do yes because not all tyres perform the same in different weather conditions and while all within the law people have different standards

as long as tread wear is similar, drive away.
