Is it ok to use two same sized snow tires with equal amounts of tread but different patterns on the front a car?

No, it is not recommended to use two snow tires with different tread patterns on the front of a car. While it may seem like a minor difference, having different tread patterns can affect the handling and performance of the vehicle, especially in snowy or icy conditions.

Snow tires are designed to provide maximum traction and control in winter weather conditions. The tread patterns of snow tires are specifically designed to grip the snow and ice, and to channel water and slush away from the tire. Different tread patterns can have different characteristics and may perform differently on different types of snow and ice.

Using two snow tires with different tread patterns on the front of a car can lead to uneven handling and braking. This can be dangerous, especially in emergency situations. It is always best to use four snow tires with the same tread pattern for optimal performance and safety in winter conditions.
