Default Running 2 different tires on 4x4

I was wondering if its ok to run two different sets of tires on my blazer. all are 30x9.50s but two are one pattern and the others are different. Ive beeen told that it is ok but i just want to see what anyone else thinks. Thanks in advance.

As long as the diameter, or circumference, is the same, yes.

The actual MEASURED diameter or circumference, not what is stated on the on the sidewall.

What they said above plus I look for similar tread design so they wear better.

...another thing if its just 2 tires that are diffrent its not a bad idea to have the one set of matching tires on the front axle and the other set on the rear...
