Default Tire question

I Have the old style MTR on my Jk, 315/75r16. Two of them are gone, like leaking air and chunking really bad.

If I replace the back two with new Falken 315/75r16 tires will I be ok to drive as a daily driver? Just until I can afford the other two.

Check the tire height first though, even though they are numerically the same different manufacturers may have different diameters.

I think they will be a little different, that's why I was gonna run one set on the back until I can afford the front also.

Thanks for the help.

I should be ok as long as you don't put it in 4wd on hard surfaces.
