The rear tires that touch the ground on hard surfaces, should
all be within 1/4 diameter of each other. The inner tires can
be smaller in diameter/circumference.
Do not rotate tires after you get a matched set. Keep replacing
the fronts as required (3-4k miles) and keep the back ones together
for their life (30k miles)
