ok, I searched for this one and came up empty...

We just picked up a 95 Legacy wagon (believe it's an L), 2.2 with 5mt. The front tires have somewhere between 1/16 and 1/8 less tread than the rears have. We don't have the cash to buy a new set of tires just yet, so was wondering if the difference in tread thickness (and overall tire circumference) will cause any problems for the center diff? Or can I just put the two thinner ones on opposite corners (if so, which ones would be better)? All 4 tires are the same brand / type, just the two worn more.
