Can tires be replaced with different brands?

[EllaLynn]

Car tires can be replaced with different brands, but the two tires on the same axle must be identical. Below are relevant guidelines for tire usage: Reasons for avoiding mixed usage: During emergency braking, the vehicle may pull toward the side with stronger grip. These are two extreme scenarios, but even during normal driving, pulling may occur, and tire lifespan will be shortened. Therefore, tires on the same axle must never be mixed. Tire wear: If other tires are significantly worn or relatively old, they should be replaced in pairs. If other tires are still relatively new, they don't need to be replaced in pairs, and replacing just one is acceptable. As a general reference, when the remaining lifespan of a tire reaches one-third or less of its total lifespan, it should be replaced together.
