Might be a silly question but....are all 215/65R16 tyres 215/65R16?
What I mean by this is would there be a difference between all terrains vs road tyres? (if yes would the difference be enough to put strain on the drivetrain?)

Thanks peeps!
 
The difference can exist but not by much e.g. the new 21575R15 GO15's I put on are 3mm larger in diameter that the same spec BFG AT they replaced.
 
Depends a bit on the tread depth. Not all tyre brands and patterns are exactly the same.
However if you rotate regularly then it all equals out.... more or less. Don`t forget the spare or two.
Shouldn`t cause problems though unless you have new and old(worn) on different rims. Viscous diff problems may arise then.
