tires question for my Estima?

Thanks for everybody told me the tires size earlier. I picked up some used tires today. The size are 235/35/19. 3 of them are Nitto, 1 of them are Michellin. They are almost brand new. However, the Nitto and Michellin have totally differnt tires pattern. Does it matter if they are different tires pattern?

Thanks in Advance!

Its best to run the same tire on each axle in adverse weather conditions, but you can get away with it.

I actually have a single Michelin Pilot Sport in 235/35/19 if you need one. Lots of tread.

The tire patterns are one thing, another thing to consider is how much the sidewall stretch will look? Certain brands tend to stretch better than others. 235/35 is a good selection on tire size. Not to sure about the stretch on the tires that you mentioned......only used FALKEN 452 before. If the Michellin looks too different you could always just pick up another Nitto.....just a thought.
