Tires with varying life left

Tires with varying life left
I am looking at getting some used BFG All Terrain TA's - 2 have 65% left, one has 50% and one has 40%. I figured I would put the two with 65% on the rear. Will there be any poor side effects of running tires with varying tread depth? Steering wise, or braking? I am getting them for the summer to save my Wilderness M/T for the winter, oh and they are cheap. Thanks!

RE: Tires with varying life left
Run the 65% tread's in the front, run the 50% on the right side rear, 40% on the left side rear. If you have an open differencial, you will wear down that 50% eventually on the right side and when the get equal, swap teh 65% to the back and then your 40% to the front. That's what I'd suggest at least. That is how I have mine set up right now at least. I'm just waiting for the right side to wear down to match the left now.
