Follow my procedure above to help remove tread from tyres.

Those tread trimming machines wouldn't work well on a street tyre.. only an off-road tyre with huge tread blocks.

3mm difference in Diameter is not even close to being a problem !

10mm of circ difference won't hurt it, 10mm of diameter might.

If you put one new one on the front and one new one on the rear your centre diff won't be wound up at all. Get some 'stagger' on it Nascar style!

Could be a plan - which way do most of the corners go at the skidpan? Right, wasn't it? I could put the new tyres on that side and after an hour or so they'd all be the same size ;-)

You will want more grip in the front end so put the good ones on there.
