Odd size tyres on bateman

Neighbour has knacked a flotation on his bateman, trying to source a used tyre is proving tricky, he’s got 580 65 22.5 on it at mo, can’t find any used at mo, I’ve found plenty of 560 60 22.5 though, I think I already know the answer but thought I’d ask anyway, being a 60 profile that will make the total diameter slightly less won’t it, will that mess with the wheel motors speed wise or anything else?

Uneven tyres shouldn't mess with the transmission. The wheel motors are independent & if one takes a couple of millilitres less oil for the same distance that's no problem. The motors run in parallel not in series.

I've got a complete wheel with Trelleborg 580/65 22.5. The tyre 99% tread remaining. It was a spare for a Bateman RB16 I used to own. 07802388695
