tire wear

Yo! I drive an '86 4WD BII, 5sp/2.9L. Winter tires are mandatory here in Québec as of Dec 15. My present ones are a bit thin. I have 2 Lee Snowtrakkers about half worn. Would it be dangerous for the drive train to combine them with 2 new ones because of diameter difference?
Merci!

If you put the worn ones on the front and don't drive in 4wd on dry roads you should be fine. The soft compound of the tires and lack of full on traction should keep you and your transfer case safe. Remember: don't drive on dry pavement in 4wd if the tires are different diameters.
