Mismatched Tires on 2014 Mack GU8


Question

A 2014 Mack GU8 GU800 tandem end dump (6 Cylinders 10.8 Turbo Diesel 659 CID) has the following tires:
 
DRIVER SIDE: 
Steer (axle 1) - Cooper Severe 315/80R22.5,
Axle 2 - Michelin X Works 11R24.5 (with GY Uni Circle cap) and Goodyear Marathon RSA 11R24.5 (with GY Uni Circle cap)
Axle 3 - Bridgestone R268 11R24.5 (with GY362 cap) and Armorsteel LHS2 11R24.5 (with GY362 cap)

PASSENGER SIDE:
Steer (axle 1) - Cooper Severe WHA 315/80R22.5
Axle 2 - Kelly Armorsteel LHS2 11R24.5 (with GY362 cap) and Goodyear Endurance HD 11R24.5 (with GY362 cap)
Axle 3 - Goodride CR962D 11R24.5 (with 210 BRSS MS cap) and Goodyear MSA 11R24.5 (with GY362 cap)


Is this tire configuration problematic for this truck?

I don't see a problem. Tire are matched for size (no mis match casings sizes on an axle) I don't have cap tread designs memorized but it isn't the design it is tread circumference that is the thing you want to have even for best wear if possible. 

I'd run it and not think twice about it, replacing tires when the wear out, or if 1st cap, recapping again if in good shape.

I used to run 3 treads off my casings (1 original and 2 caps) before scrapping.
