I would not worry about it. I've seen plenty of mismatched tires on and off the trail. If you drive on the highway in 4wd, with or without mismatched tires your are looking at abnormal wear on your drive train. On the trail, in 4wd, your drive train won't care.

Honda's tpms use an active monitoring system that uses the ABS to tell when a tire is going flat, (tire rotation count). I'm guessing the Jeeps still use sensors in the wheel. What I am pointing out here is that the most critical thing here would be how it affects ABS. Again, only on the highway on a wet pavement would this even come into play, say if the one wheel would hydroplane before the others. The ABS will reduce the braking on another wheel depending steering angle and or G's. You will most likely never see this with a small mismatch.

I'm not even sure how the Jeep ABS reacts, just using the example of another to get the point across. Don't worry about it.

No guessing to it - Jeep uses direct TPMS with sensors in the wheels. Honda's system is iTMPS.
I already did the math - we're talking a whopping perhaps 3 rotations difference with the wear the OP asked about. Big whoop. You have more than that turning a corner or taking a gentle curve on a highway.

It's much ado about nothing. Shocked no one did the math to see how silly the tiny difference is with a vehicle like the JT.
Direct TPMS vs. iTPMS, maybe a BMW might believe one tire has 2 psi less than the others, but again, big deal. Jeep won't care. 2, 3, even 4 turns difference - why the fuss?
