Different treads yes all that needs to stay the same is the actual tire size such as 235/75/16
*Although you will have better handling and the smoothest, safest driving if all four tyres are the same tread.

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

Why do biycycle tires have a tread on part of the sides?
Turning on a bicycle is different than in a car. When you turn on a bicycle you lean the entire bike to the side. This causes the sides of the tires to contact the pavement. The tread on the sides of the tires is there for this exact reason. Without it, you would probably skid out when you try to turn.

Car Tires For The Season?
It is very important to have the correct car tires for the season. There are some car tires that are meant for the summer, with less tread, that promote faster speed and better gas mileage. There are other car tires that are meant for the winter, with deeper tread for gripping the snowy roads. There are even tires that are designed to work well in the water, with special tread that pushes the water from puddles off to the sides of the tires so that the car will not hydroplane and crash. Since all of these are so different, and so adjusted to do exactly what they need to do, it is crucial to have the right tires for the weather that you are driving in. The problem with running a car with summer tires in the winter -- something that many people do to save money, unknowingly putting themselves in a lot of danger -- is that the car tires for the summer do not have deep enough tread patterns to grip in the snow and ice. This can lead to a number of problems, such as your car failing to brake when you depress the brake pedal. The tires will stop as they are supposed to, but they will just slide along over the ice after they have stopped. You car will also be more prone to spinning on the highway, or to losing traction in the slush and plunging off the road. This can easily be fixed by having different car tires for different seasons. It is not so much of a problem to run a car in the summer with winter car tires, at least not in terms of danger to your life. The biggest reason you would not want to do it is that the winter tires are expensive, and you will be wearing them out on the summer roads. This is a waste of the investment, and means also that the winter car tires will not be in their best condition when the winter comes around. Therefore, it is best to have a set of summer car tires and another set of tires for the winter.
